Does this happen with apps NOT written with the IDE? Does it happen only when
you launch apps from the IDE? Does it happen when apps crash but not when they
complete normally?

I ask these questions because this is my experience so far.

Win32lib apps that I run that finish normally and are not launched from the IDE
seem to be fine. I'd love an example code that shows otherwise. Its too hard to
debug without being able to easily reproduce the problem.

My gut feel is that when a program crashes, sometimes some system-used fonts are
not restored. Also, I'm not sure that the direct API work in the IDE is not
causing a resource issue.
