(No, I haven't moved up to 5.0 yet.  I'm almost ready to do so.)

I've observed a consistent anomaly in client status updates on 3.0.3.
If I'm watching the status of a running backup, the SD status updates
every time the refresh timer counts down, as it should.  The client FD
status window, however, does not; but it DOES refresh every time the
window is re-exposed (and hence redrawn) when it should have been
updated.  For example, if refresh is set to 30 seconds, and you sit
watching the running tab of the client window for 45 seconds, it will
not refresh, though the Terminated Jobs pane will blink as the refresh
timer expires; but if you now switch away from it and switch back, the
new data will be there.  It seems to me this is not a client issue, it's
a bat bug; bat is getting the updated status from the client, but is not
refreshing the client running status window when it should.  What's
more, since the FD window updates correctly, it appears to be confined
to the Client window, and it appears that what's happening is that for
the Client only, bat is erroneously refreshing the Terminated Jobs pane
instead of the Running pane.

Before I file it as a bug, I just wanted to check whether anyone else
could verify this, whether it's a known bug, and whether it's already
been fixed in 5.0.
