I've encountered the behavior on Windows XP, and resizing fixes it there  
also.  No apology is necessary for a program behavior that is easily  corrected 
(by resizing) for a program I use all the time to analyze my club and  
tournament games and find version 0.95 perfect for me.  I really, really,  like 
it and 
need to send you some money soon.  (I'm thinking 10% of my  Scrabble winnings 
this year, but so far that would be only $4.50.)
 
I just found the flickering board an interesting behavior, since it must  
require some sort of test that says "if it's size A and the letters  available 
window is size B, change it to size C and the letters available window  to size 
D" and another test that says "if it's size C and the letters available  
window is size D, change it to size A and the letters available window to size  
B" 
creating some sort of infinite loop.  But since I can't read the code, I  
can't tell for sure if that's the problem, and thought you may have found the  
problem while working on future versions.  If you don't do another thing to  
Quackle, I'd still recommend it to Scrabble players everywhere.  I wasn't  
complaining about the flickering, just curious as a former programmer.
 
Thank you for Quackle,
Bruce D'Ambrosio
 
PS.  If you ever make an even faster or cut-down version of Quackle,  you 
should call it Quickle.
