In which case I must object to the patch :( It seems we're just hiding
a problem in a very convoluted way, don't you think?

The problem is that WM_STYLECHANGED is sometimes sent, sometimes not,
and it seems so much easier to just update it every time we come in
so we can be sure we're using the latest value, as we should. It's
redundant, I agree, but it's neglijable in terms of performance so
I've put it in due to it's simplicity. This way the dwStyle has a
very simple to understand semantics. In fact, I've meant to remove
it eventually, just like you did, but only as an optimization. However,
doing so to fix a bug in a way that we don't understand worries me
greatly. I'd rather keep it in, and fix the problem.
