I see this in Emacs _releases_, with `emacs -Q', starting with Emacs 24.5 - no such problem with Emacs 24.4 or prior. I also see it with Emacs 26 and 27 pretests (with `emacs -Q'). > > This is a regression introduced in Emacs 24.

But for Emacs 24.5 and 25.3.1, they are the released Windows binaries from GNU Emacs. For the pretests they are those from GNU Emacs. For example, this release build: In GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2015-04-11 on LEG570 Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601 Configured using: `configure --prefix=3D/c/usr --host=3Di686-pc-mingw32'
