BUG: Paste-Linking a 256-Color Paintbrush Object

SYMPTOMS
A 256-color bitmap is loaded into Microsoft Paintbrush version 3.11
(included with Windows 3.11) and 3.50 (included with Windows NT 3.5). The
image is selected and then copied to the clipboard. An OLE 2.0 application
then pastes a link to the object from the clipboard. To perform the paste-
link operation, the container calls OleCreateLinkFromData(), specifying
OLERENDER_FORMAT as the rendering option and CF_DIB as the desired format.
The resulting link object in the OLE 2.0 application has an incorrect
appearance, such as being colored solid black.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the Object Linking and
Embedding libraries version 2.01.
MORE INFORMATION
Normally an OLE 2.0 application will specify OLERENDER_DRAW as the
rendering option. This allows OLE to cache a metafile presentation for the
object. When a metafile is cached, the 256-color Paintbrush object is
displayed correctly.
