Graphics background color under Windows about graphics HOT 4 OPEN

Comment author: @gasche

I seem to remember that, under X11, you need to add a space before the size specification: (Graphics.open_graphics " 400x600") may work better.

For the Windows part, I'm not seeing the black fill instead red - can you give some more details of your set-up (which Windows port, which version of Windows).

I have no idea if the characters being displayed for the window title are strictly Chinese, but ocaml/ocaml#1629 fixes the bug!

Thank you.

If I use a Cygwin terminal, the background is red.
GNU bash, version 4.4.12(3)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

If I use a Windows Vista terminal, the background is black.
Microsoft Windows [version 6.0.6002]

The mystery of the X11 geometry specification was explained.
The bad characters in the windows title should be fixed by now.
What remains is the mysterious red background under Cygwin. Actually, even the black background under Windows could be a bug -- I thought we want a white background for all ports.
