Steam Overlay causes graphical glitches

[dreamer]

This is not a bug in steam-dos, this issue exists to track bug status in DOSBox upstream. I will close this issue as soon as fixed DOSBox version will be released.

Black bars surrounding the game screen do not refresh - causing Steam's FPS counter and Overlay to leave annoying glitches. You can see them here in top-right and bottom-right corner:

This issue is a bug in DOSBox 0.74-2 (current version), and is fixed in DOSBox 0.74-3 (SVN, r4229).

To test it, you can use the latest version of steam-dos (>= 0.3.0), compile the latest DOSBox from SVN (link) and override version used by steam-dos in the settings file (~/.config/steam-dos.conf):

[dosbox]
bin = ~/path-to-dosbox-svn-source-code/dosbox-code-0/src/dosbox

Our community pinged all major distro packagers to hurry up with including 0.74-3 in distro (it seems like not all major distributions care about this), so I think there's no point in keeping this issue open.
