+Summary: Timer events are not delivered by Application.DoEvents
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what 
+you are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+Calling Application.DoEvents() does not cause timer events that should be 
+delivered to be delivered. Timers only work if the main message loop is 
+entered.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Start a timer
+2. Enter a loop in which you are alternating beween Application.DoEvents
+() and Thread.Sleep();
+3. Wait for the timer tick that never comes
+
+Actual Results: The timer tick event never fires
+
+
+Expected Results:For it to fire.
+
+
+How often does this happen? always
+
+
+Additional Information:
+
+I looked at the source code in XplatUIWin32.cs. The problem is because 
+the code in DoEvents is a simple windows message loop. It bypasses all of 
+the special code in GetMessage that handles faking mouse events and 
+timers. This special code needs to be called from both GetMessage and 
+from DoEvents. I will try to work out a fix, but I thought I should 
+report this first so someone else can fix it first if I can't
