If menus in TC9.5b4 in Dark mode are longer than the screen height, icons in those menus disappear (actually they are squuezed to 3 pixels width) or checkmarks dissapear (if both checkmarks and icons are present in same menu), to reappear when the item is hovered.
See video: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/dissapearingmenuicons.mp4
Also the scroll arrow in top and bottom of the menu is not visible until hovered, and dissapear again when clicked. See: video above and https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/longmenuscrollarrow.png
Reproducable under Windows 10 but NOT Windows 7 in both 32- and 64bit TC.

Unfortunately I can only fix it partially:
- I can fix the problem with overdrawn icons
- I can draw a dark ^ symbol in the button location
- I cannot avoid the bright button from appear, it's drawn by windows bypassing the WM_PAINT message
