Description
-start indy3 -press escape until you are in the gym -press F5 -on the "how may I serve you" menu, choose "options" -on the options menu, choose "about"
result: invalid memory is being accessed at gui.cpp line 524. ("ptr[i] = _bgcolor;"). i is 165. it looks like the pointer aritgmetic involving ptr a few lines up may be too aggressive ("ptr += 320 + 1;").

To be precise, the vscreen 0 in Indy3 goes from y = 16 till y = 16 +128. The "about" dialog was 134 pixel high, which caused ScummVM to write to invalid memory. I shrunk the about dialog to 124 pixels, and to start at y=20 (not y=10), the same size of the load/save dialog -> crash is gone now.

Nah, the problem is probably that Indy3 uses more virtual screens than we expect (which is probably also the cause for some other odd drawing issues in both old and new GUI).
The overlay technique would fix this, once we implement it.
