Summary:
PROBLEM ID: QCW9109009
SYMPTOMS
If any of the last 6 colors in either the top or bottom row of the
color palette are selected, an attempt to draw with those colors
when creating a bitmap or icon will result in a color other than
the one that was selected. This behavior can be observed in the
Microsoft Image Editor version 3.05, which is shipped with QuickC
for Windows (QC/Win) version 1.0, as well as SDKPaint version 3.0,
which is a similar tool shipped with the Windows SDK.
CAUSE
As documented in Chapter 3 of the "Microsoft QuickC for Windows
Toolkit" manual, these colors are referred to as "dithered" colors
and are to be used only for filling purposes. Dithered colors are
simulations of other colors, using two or more available colors. If
these colors are used as background fill, they are painted
correctly according to the shade selected. However, any attempt to
draw with them will result in the wrong color.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in QuickC for Windows
version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here as it becomes available.
