No no. I see this very problem on windows NT4 (and 2000, I am pretty sure...) That's why I was experimenting to find a solution. Here is a console session that works for me:
>> view/new lay: layout [size 200x200 bd: backdrop blue effect [oval]] >> lay/size: lay/size + 50x50 == 250x250 >> bd/size: bd/size + 50x50 == 250x250 >> show lay ; here I see backdrop is still clipped too small ; although oval has been redrawn in larger size ; see http://anton.idatam.com.au/rebol/bugs/images/bg-clip.png >> wait 0.001 ; here I see clip box expands to correct size ; and can see all of the oval again == none And I made a mistake in my last post. The first [wait 0] is not quite enough. I need to wait some amount time (greater than zero). I shouldn't have included the second [wait none] as that just confused the issue. [wait none] also causes the backdrop to resize... Anton. > This could very well be an Amiga only problem. I experience > no need to have > the wait.
