PRB: Common Dialog GP-Fault on ESC Key with Mouse Button Down

ID Number: Q83009

3.10

WINDOWS

Summary:

SYMPTOMS

In an application that uses the File Open or Save As dialog box

from the Common Dialogs dynamic-link library (DLL), when the user

opens a combo box with the mouse, holds down the left mouse button,

and then presses the ESC key to close the dialog box, a GP-fault

occurs.

RESOLUTION

The user can ignore the fault warnings without incident. There are

as many as eight warnings before control is returned to the

application.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Common Dialogs

DLL version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here as it becomes available.
