Titanic Adventure Out of Time Shows Blank Screen When Save Dialog Or Quit Dialog Comes Up #102

Thank you very much narzoul for this awesome program! It works great with the original Grim Fandango and The Longest Journey!

Unfortunately, when I try to save in Titanic Adventure Out of Time (DirectX Version) the screen is blank and only shows a vertical scroll bar see attached picture. When I quit the game, the screen is blank when it should show a "Are you sure you want to quit?" dialog box. When I hit Enter, then it shows "Do you want to save?" dialog box just fine. I think the game uses DirectX 5. That was the version included with the disc. Here is the log:

I don't have this issue with the save dialog, and on first try I didn't with the quit dialog either. But on further tries I could reproduce it with the quit dialog at least. I'll look into it later. Meanwhile you can try moving the window (by grabbing the title bar) as a workaround, it seems to cause the window to show up properly.

I think it has something to do with incorrect Z-order between the real window and DDrawCompat's presentation overlay window, which probably gets shuffled behind it somehow at first.

Thanks for looking into this issue! Unfortunately, when I move around the window by grabbing the title bar, there is no change to what is shown on screen. Let me know if you want any debug logs or more screen pics.

Here are my system specs if it helps:

Windows 8.1 CPU: Intel i5-4210U GPU: Intel HD 4400 RAM: 8GB
