Hi Jon, Do you have all these windows on screen at one time? Are they all rendering the same view and scene graph? Is it possible to use one onscreen window and muiltiple FBOs?
As a sanity test please try other hardware/OpenGL drivers and if possible OSs, as if this is driver problem they it's best to know early on so you can then know what to do about workarounds. Robert.
