MiniWriter application bug in 3.4.2 patch 3

[kcarmody]

There is a bug in the MiniWriter application (SAMPLES\Applications\MiniWriter) in HMG 3.4.2 patch 3 and subsequent patches. In the original 3.4.2 and previous versions, this bug is not present. I'm seeing this bug in Windows 7 and have not tried other versions of Windows.

The bug is that clicking or hovering over any active control creates a rapidly flickering help bubble in an infinite loop and freezes, and the application must be force closed. Prior to patch 3, MiniWriter displays help bubbles without flickering and allows you to proceed normally.

MiniWriter is very similar to the Rich Edit demo (SAMPLES\Controls\RichEditBox) in its basic purpose, namely to function like WordPad. The main difference is that MiniWriter uses a ribbon interface like the WordPad in Windows 7, whereas the Rich Edit demo uses a menu and icon interface like the WordPad in XP.
