           Summary: Can't deal with paint exception in OnThreadException -
                    difference from .NET
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 2.8.x
          Platform: Other

            Status: NEW

          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Windows.Forms

The Application.ThreadException event allows to handle exceptions that occur in
Windows Forms threads. If an exception is thrown while processing the paint
message of a control, with .NET the control will be replaced with a red cross.

On Mono the application silently quits without giving a chance to deal with the
exception in the ThreadException handler, even when using try/catch blocks.

The attached sample application demonstrates this behavior. After clicking the
button the paint method of the button will throw an exception. On Windows with
NET it will be replaced with a red cross and the ThreadExceptionDialog shown.

With Mono the application exits without displaying the ThreadExceptionDialog.
