I've posted a bug report some days ago here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2014-11/msg01046.html

Without any success, I've got not answer so far. Is the bug report itself  
incomplete?

I've no idea who is so brave to maintain Emacs for Windows, but maybe a reader 
of this list could pass it to the maintainer(s). 

Thank you!
