Problem with FileOpenDialog using long default filenames - (Moved)

[Tippex]

I have a problem with FileOpenDialog using long default filenames ... they always get truncated. 

For example: 

"A Long FileName.mpg" as a default would prompt as just "FileName.mpg" (but scrolling left will show it named correctly).

Does anyone know of a fix for this please (I didn't spot it in a Forum search), or is it one for the bug tracker?

#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
Local Const $sMessage = "Hold down Ctrl or Shift to choose multiple files."
Local $sFileOpenDialog = FileOpenDialog($sMessage, @WindowsDir & "\", "Images (*.jpg;*.bmp)|Videos (*.avi;*.mpg)", BitOR($FD_FILEMUSTEXIST, $FD_MULTISELECT), "A Long FileName.mpg")

Thanks,

Sorry for the delay.

The screenshot shows the defaulted filename being initially displayed as just "FileName.mpg" and below it another screenshot correctly showing what was intended ("A Long FileName.mpg") found by clicking another window then returning by clicking its title bar which seems to be all it takes to rectify/refresh it.

I also discovered that if the window is maximised then the problem doesn't occur. 

Thanks
