Weird WinBoard logo problem

Post by hgm »

When preparing the installer package for WinBoard 4.5.0, I encountered a very weird problem: the user logo is displayed as a magnified button when I start some (but not all) engines directly from the Windows Start menu, but never when I start WinBoard with the same settings in a different way.

For an exact description of the problem, see:

Could any of you help testing if this also occurs on other Windows systems? I start to suspect a Windows bug here, as the type of button that shows up does not occur in WinBoard anywhere, and I want to know if this is peculiar to my system.
