Most likely a bug in SDL, not Enigma. The fellows
from SDL have to adapt to Windows Vista as well,
this will need some time. Only after this we can
try to repair the remaining bugs in Enigma in
Vista.

Hmm ... I can't confirm this bug.
Please give a detailed description (which level,
which OS, what exactly are you doing to produce
the bug?)

Yes, I can confirm this. However, there are still
lots of graphical bugs in 320x240.

"Search Result" is the name of a virtual level pack, just
like "Auto" or "History". That's why there's no translation:
It's a title, not an ordinary string. I just looked at
index.xsd, and as far as I understand it, translation of
level pack titles is not planned yet.

Yes, I found this confusing, too.
I'd prefer an empty "Search Result" level pack screen,
this should be easiest, but Ronald surely thought about
this when writing the redirection code?

Okay. Can't do anything here without a backtrace.
Possibly even a bug in SDL, who knows?
