   In my case it happens even with just running demo programs and
   they don't crash. When the screen fonts get mangled, all apps
   including the Eu ones are still running. It's just bud ugly.

   I don't think it has to do with specific code, but rather it is
   an effect from handling things in a certain way. I have seen this
   problem in the past with non-euphoria apps as well. It's just
   that with Eu/win32lib programs it is very frequent.

   In my case there's no crashes or the IDE involved
