This article was previously published under Q86167

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Always On Top feature of a Windows-based application while working with the Windows 3.1 Paintbrush, it's possible for the application's image to be captured by Paintbrush.

MORE INFORMATION

Some Windows-based applications have an option to remain on top of all other windows on the desktop. This option is commonly referred to as Always On Top. Windows 3.1 Paintbrush can capture the image of a part or all of the application that has the Always On Top option enabled. This can be done if the application overlaps the Paintbrush workspace.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows 3.1 Paintbrush. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
