Hi Jacque, Previously, redraws were postponed, now they are flushed. Each time when you show or hide an object, LiveCode wants to redraw the screen. Previously, these redraws were remembered and executed when the screen was unlocked. As I understand it, the screen is now simply redrawn once,

I think I understand a bit. When debugging I had noticed that when tracing through code after issuing a lock screen, if I went to a card what was displayed was VERY odd. Things that were supposed to be hidden were displayed, and things that I never hide were not drawn. Once I got out of the

Hi Jacqueline, I think perhaps this could be referring to garbage collection. That's a geeky guess. ;-) Cheers, Rick On Jan 30, 2012, at 12:23 AM, J. Landman Gay wrote: Geek-speak in the 5.0.2 release notes say that redraws will be flushed at various times. I assume this means redraws
