Hello,

I am a productivity software user in WinUAE (i.e. I use many graphics programs both RTG and native chipset).

The only graphic program that ever gives me problems under WinUAE is TV-PAINT.

When using the make-arc tool or when drawing with the pencil brush, corrupt graphic "sparkles" appear on screen (as seen in this screengrab).

This does NOT happen in a similarly setup "hardware/real" Amiga (OS3.9, RTG).

The graphic garbage will go away if you refresh the screen somehow in emulation (i.e. if I flip the screen in TV paint horizontally and back again, or if I drag the TVPaint tool window over the garbage and move it away).

Images saved from TVPaint are fine (no garbage) even if they show garbage while in TVPaint.

I have tried different settings in WinUAE to no effect (i.e. non-JIT modes, ESC, OCS) and have tried different settings in Picasso96.

Again, after using dozens of the most popular Amiga graphics programs in WinUAE all have been successful except TV-Paint. Too bad because TV-Paint is truely excellent.

I can't figure out what is causing this problem and at this point I have to think it might be some bug in WinUAE. So I am report this here.

- I am using WinUAE 2.3.3
- configured as an AGA A4000 running OS3.9 and the Picasso96 library that is intended for UAE.
- configuration file: http://www3.sympatico.ca/clarke-santin/misc/config.uae

Does anyone know of a solution or a fix?

TVPaint can be downloaded for free (legally) from here:
