I'm having a strange issue with all of my versions of DOSBox (0.74, SVN latest, DOSBox-X April 9, 2015) when running Windows 3.1 and trying to use any screen mode with 256 colours. Windows boots up seemingly normally but, when clicking on a menu item that opens a file selection window (e.g. File/Open) in any program, DOSBox crashes to a black unresponsive screen and can be only closed via Alt-F4 or through the task manager.
This issue occurs independently of the driver in question (I've tried S3, ET3000, and ET4000 from this page, with the appropriate machine values) and regardless of the program (I've tried Write, Mathematica 2.2, and several others). I haven't found any information on anything similar to this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
