A bug in WinVNC 3.3.3r7!

[Hans Vedder]

Hi,
I have the same problem on my Win-NT PCs too. The authorisation dialog box
is hidden behind the other windows.
Until the release 3.3.3r7, we used a modified version of release 3.3.3r2.
Web-Site: http://members.tripod.de/micattack/ (exe-file and source-code)
With this version, we never had problems with a hidden dialog-box on WIN-NT
PCs.
Perhaps, this is a solution for 3.3.3r8!?
With greetings
