Hi all,

Ok, I've verified that ctlSQLBox::OnPositionStc() is broken.

If I comment the code for highlighting in it (that is, almost all of its 
body), the problem goes away.

I've found quite some problems observed with it and attempted to fix 
previously, like e.g. the one from 2011:
---------------
+   // Ensure we don't recurse through any paint handlers
+   Freeze();
     UpdateLineNumber();
+   Thaw();

     // Clear all highlighting
---------------
That was most probably only a partial fix, and it was subsequently reverted.

I'd like to also note that 'OnPositionStc' name is pretty much 
misleading. If it was named 'OnPaintedStc' it would be more consistent 
and more hinting where the problem is. I'm aware that renaming alone 
don't usually fix bugs, but it might help humans better catch ones.

Ok, anyway, I've got no real fix for now, but I'm going on.


Thank you,
Nikolai
