Vista - Video and Inking

I am having a problem with inking on top of video. Specifically, I
have an InkCanvas on top of a MediaElement, and sometimes (maybe 30% of
the time) when I try to write something on the ink canvas while the
video is paused, either the whole MediaElement, or just the rectangle
containing the ink, will go black. This only appears to happen when
the video is paused - it works fine while it is playing. Is this a
known bug, or am I experiencing something previously uncharted?

Feb CTP or Beta2? And XP, or Vista?

I've seen this happen with older builds, but not recently...

This is with Beta 2, and under WinXP. Haven't been able to test in
Vista yet.

Interesting... can you tell me about the hardware you're seeing this
on? Specifically I'm interested in the graphics adapter... make,
model, driver version number.

This is with a Radeon X600. I am using the latest drivers - 6.5. I
have also seen this on other machines, however, also with WinFX Beta 2.
