Has anyone noticed more breakage of late in legacy VB6 apps from Windows update? Last it month it broke vertical/horizontal scroll bar controls, rendering them non-visible (available this link).

MS did acknowledge and fix this problem with another update, which has now broken my Word-based spell check mechanism, which I use in a legacy VB6 application. It uses OLE Word Application and Word document objects to spell check user input (i.e. commentary). I've used it for years in this legacy app and now has been hosed.

Below is what the Spell Check dialog as launched within the VB6 app should look like:

After the May-June 2021 Windows 10 update, that dialog now renders the sentence-word fragment being spell-checked non-visible as shown below, so you can no longer tell what is being spell-checked:

Does anyone else use this this spell checker mechanism and confirm breakage?
