Javier, I have not see this personally, but my IT team reports they have seen similar ghosting in two different parts of our main applications that are used heavily every day, but it is extremely rare. After your BUMP, we discussed the two situations they could recall some specifics on.
>From their view, the compiled 9.1 (64) app had stopped and it was a display/memory issue, kill it and restart. I don't know that I agree with that assessment, but there was no database corruption, and no orphaned data left from the operations that they killed. I don't think it was an infinite loop running corrupted code or a process on a corrupted temp table, but it kind of sounds like it. We have approx 100 users, including 35 Citrix/RDP users all working in the same database. The problems they saw were never a Citrix/RDP session. The users that experienced the ghosting issue run Window 7 Pro with four different compiled RBase apps concurrently, Outlook 2007, and many other programs, and two different browsers, all at the same time. They have occassional random weirdness on their systems but it happens to the non-RBase apps also. I put them on the alert to NOT kill next time and to let me take a look, if it ever happens again.

The first one happens at random on different computers. While the application is just displaying a menu and doing nothing otherwise, the form/screen will begin to flicker rapidly and the only way to exit the situation is to kill the application through the Windows Task Manger; the users have called this condition "ghosting." This happens even when running the application directly on the server via RDP, so loss of connection is not the cause. The second happens when scrolling reports on the screen (70 pages). Once the report is generated and I start scrolling down the application, it will abruptly crash. There is nothing unusual in the report and it does not happen all the time; I can re-run the same report and it will display and scroll correctly. I am running a compiled version of 9.1 (9.1.5.20519). Has anyone run into similar issues? Javier, Javier Valencia, PE O: 913-829-0888 H: 913-397-9605 C: 913-915-3137
