VC6 on Win7, SourceSafe diff viewer doesn't draw text on the left pane (when maximized)

I recently upgraded my computer, and moved from XP to Win7. We have old VC6 projects which we continue to develop. But on Win7 SourceSafe's diff viewer behaves oddly, if it is maximized. On the right pane all the text is drawn, but on the left pane most of the text is missi开发者_JS百科ng - there is just gray background where there should be text.

When I move the cursor to those white lines, the text on them appears, but only on the line where the cursor is. One way to show all the text is to select everything in the left pane (like Ctrl+A). Has anyone else encountered this problem?

'Disable visual themes' on the application shortcut's 'Compatibility' dialog tab did the trick for me, even when maximized, as suggested by Cody Gray. That is the only compatibility option I changed. I had the problem, changed the checkbox to checked to select the setting, the problem went away.

Environment: Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Windows 7 Desktop Experience feature, Visual SourceSafe 2005.
