I suspect that you have a video driver problem, not a debugger problem. 
Have you applied the necessary patches to both the operating system and the
compiler?  OS/2 is at FP17, Watcom C++ 10.0 is at patchlevel B, C++ 10.5 is
at patchlevel A, and C++ 10.6 was just released a couple of weeks ago.

Well, what so unreasonable about requiring that you apply the bug fixes? 
Is that more or less productive than complaining about the bugs?
