Hi Ulrich, how is it going with this issue ?

I've noticed that this code paints a perfect edit control, with its 
background color (for the whole area).
4545         es->style      &= ~WS_BORDER;

While the following code in place of the line above, doesn't fill the 
whole edit with the background color, but the area behind the text 
inside the control ONLY.

 4554         if (lpcs->dwExStyle & WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE)
4555             es->style &= ~WS_BORDER;
4556         else if (es->style & WS_BORDER)
4557             SetWindowLongW(hwnd, GWL_STYLE, es->style & ~WS_BORDER);

This is also reletad to 2695.

Thanks !
