I have a listbox, and as you mouse over each cells (about 10x10) I have a 
RoundedRectangle appear over it (along with some statictext over that). The 
idea is that you can glance at details relating to each cell rapidly just by 
mousing around--kind of like giant tooltips. (Not every cell has details, so I 
turn the RoundedRect's Visible off--and move it offscreen too--when it's not 
needed.)

This works great in OS X. But in XP, I don't see the rectangle nor the text. 
Instead I just see a bounding box of the window's background color, which 
doesn't go away--so as you mouse around, you are "painting" background color 
all over the screen--not just on the listbox, but over anything that the 
rectangle happens to overlap.

I don't know if this is a layering bug (maybe RB think the RoundedRect is not 
frontmost?) or what, but I'm desperate to get this app over to Windows! This is 
my first RB project and I'm stumped--it seems like this should be simple, and 
it works so well on Mac (where I'm authoring).

Thanks for any leads!
