As discussed (and confirmed) in topic http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Libreoffice-qa-minutes-of-ESC-call-td4148598.html the splash screen does not show up under Windows XP x86 or Windows 7 x64 Curiously the shadow of the splash screen does show up. This is obviously a regression from branch 4.4
True, not seeing any splash. Win 7 Pro 64-bit Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: d8208da8576874fdb07014287e6cbc0aeba741bb TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2015-05-23_09:23:03 Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI)
Tomaz - I guess we need to special-case the splash-screen for immediate rendering, rather than leaving it for idle =) That window can be found out easily by it's WindowType: WINDOW_INTROWINDOW and also its WinBits having WB_INTROWIN included. Thanks for the report.
