SetStatusWindow text overlays existing text
During installation, if a dialog is displayed before actually installing, the status text display portion may start overlaying new status messages over the existing message (instead of erasing the existing status message first). As a result, the status message is not readable anymore.
This bug is persisting since v7 of InstallShield. :mad: I just upgraded from IS2009 to IS2012, hoping that the bug would be gone... to no avail.
Here is a thread that describes the same problem, posted more than 8 years ago.

Code to reproduce the problem:
Any status messages shown after the custom dialog (such as "Copying files", etc) will garble the display.
function OnFirstUIBefore()
STRING szText;
// ...
begin
// ...
Enable(STATUSEX);
szText = "";
SdShowDlgEdit1("Custom dialog", "Click Next to break the status messages.", "Blah:", szText);
Enable(STATUSEX);
return 0;
end;
Any status messages shown after the custom dialog (such as "Copying files", etc) will garble the display.
