Default Patches to demo

Will the fixes in the patches to the game ever be added to the demo?

One of the reasons I am asking is this: When playing the demo, if I switch focus to a different window and return, all hell breaks lose - shift on the keyboard stops working, and the graphics become completely distorted (which can be fixed by changing settings). I also once got a BSOD as I switched back. Now, this quite possibly has something to do with my problematic video card, but for the time being this is what I have. I wouldn't want to buy the game if it happens in it as well, but with an unpatched demo I can't really know (unless this is a problem which is known to have been fixed).

Thanks.

The logic is good for why it should be done but it sounds like its probably abit of drudge work so I kindof doubt it will happen.

That could have been good advice, if only it wasn't in strong disagreement with the way I use my computer.
Besides, every bug I see is doubly disturbing - both the bug itself and the concern, "if they got this wrong, I wonder what else can go astray" (and yes, I know that the third law of thermodynamics guarantees that no software can ever be bug-free).
