       It's interesting why that happened, since the underlying application locked and couldn't repaint itself when it was given invalidation boxes. Today this doesn't happen because most systems render to a composer.

       @djsumdog @hankg It happened because Microsoft was absolute crap. Some things never change!

       X11/Linux would do the same thing back then. Probably the old OS9 too? Most graphical systems used validated/invalidated rectangles. When KDE/Gnome implemented composition, the window would dim if the application stopped responding.
