See here for some history:

Code:

include 'macro\struct.inc'
use32

struct TestStruct1
   Key1  rq 1           ;<-- a quad word for testing
ends

struct TestStruct2
   Key2  TestStruct1
ends

        mov     ebx,[ebx+TestStruct2.Key2]      ; shouldn't work?

We loaded a dword from a quad word pointer? I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it feels a bit bad so I report it here to see if this is a problem that needs fixing.

Key2 is TestStruct1, so it doesn't appear to be a bug, imho. Has a struct ever been an alias for the first member?
