I once had to write a program not unlike this resource editor. It had to add/delete/move/resize rectangular boxes, this kind of thing. I ended up with the exact same repaint bugs I've been noticing in the resource editor in VC6. These bugs are apparently bundled as a standard OLE component, some 
CRectTracker thing. It leaves various stripes all over your screen at times.

That said, VC (AFAIK) still computes the closest approximation of "go to the definition of a C++ name, resolving a hundred different types of ambiguities in the process" known to mankind today. Which is probably handy when developing a huge program in a huge team with a huge amount of pointless 
classes and overloading and such like.
