I wanna help debug bug #3041069

Post by OmerMor »

Some time ago I opened bug #3041069 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=d ... tid=418820 about a graphical glitch in SQ5.
However it seems like the devs are having hard time reproducing it.
As a programmer (albeit in C#) I'd like to help with this. I installed Git, cloned scummvm's repository, managed to compile scummvm in VS2010 and even run and reproduce the bug.
Can you please give me some tips/pointers as to how can I debug this? I'd like to set a pointer when the background screen is replaced and maybe dump the contents of the image that is sent to the graphics backend for drawing to see where the glitch was introduced.
