I have a form with several pages. Movement is controlled by a tab object. The
pages differ greatly in the number of fields they contain and some are much
larger than others: the width is constant (and the form is not resizable by the
user) but the height varies.
I resize the window when the user moves between pages. To make it look nice, I
animate the resize by using SET WINDOW RECT in a tight loop, which takes about
a quarter of a second.
$inc:=($newBottom-$b)/6
If ($inc#0)
For ($i;$b;$newBottom;$inc)
SET WINDOW RECT($l;$t;$r;$i)
End for
End if
In v14, this worked nicely. When moving to a larger page, the contents remained
static while the window enlarged or shrank, and then the new contents were
redrawn.
In v16, the contents seem to be bound to the bottom of the window, not the top.
So when the window grows, all the contents move downwards, leaving a blank area
at the top

When it shrinks, the contents move upwards

Is this a bug? Is there a reason for it? Is there an alternative way of doing
what I’m trying to get done? I’m using SET WINDOW RECT because it’s very fast
and it doesn’t require a pass through the event loop, which ended up being very
slow.
