Hi, Viv
This is a bug that was fixed in PFC 5.0.03. Below is the code (actually
copied from V6.5.1) that contains the fix (+ another fix that they added
without putting a comment to that effect).
See how now it hides the StatusBar, disables the timer, and returns out
early when the frame is minimized, not visible or is smaller than the
microhelp area?
Have fun,
~Sharon
