What is causing this? What is the workaround?
Sounds like your statusbar widget probably has the wrong boxtype set - specifically, I'm guessing it has a "frame" type set rather than a "box" type. You really only should use "frame" types in specific cases where you don't want the content to be over-drawn on a refresh, so it is usually the wrong choice. Or it might be something else entirely! -- Ian Sent, much to my surprise, from my iPhone _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
