washed out bar..

I get this kind of feature or failure a lot with setupbuilder.

if I put the mose over it then I can view the buttons but the background
will be left black.

Any work around? exiting the app and reopening fixes it..

Windows 7 64 bit,

Best Regards...

Unfortunately, no. This issue is there for ages (10+ years) on very very
few machines in certain circumstances. It's caused by the underlying
runtime library code and completely out of our control.

Whose runtime library? Clarion?

Yes, C6. It's a standard MDI Window. Over the years we tried everything
possible to minimize this issue.

Until someone upgrades that to 9.1! (I know, you've explained that
already <g>)

In my experience, that only happens when the SB IDE loses focus (I often
task switch) and then gains focus. For me, its just cosmetic and low
priority.

A C9.1 powered version is definitely already in the works <g>. Not a
trivial task to remove all the low-level workarounds from the C6 version.

I've seen weird stuff like that with listboxes on tabs. And
bleedthrough.

No idea exactly what makes it happen.

It started happening for me in either 8.0 or 8.1. Do not recall it ever
happening before. I run SB almost exclusively in VM's and I have had
experience with other weird video things on this box. Could this be
video card/driver related? This box has on-board something or other and
I've never bothered to upgrade it to a "real" card<g>

Best regards,

This toolbar issue seems to be caused by a specific combination of Windows
OS and the video card (driver?) and/or software running in the background.
First seen in Vista (early beta) in 2005/2006.

Unfortunately, even very low-level code can't fix it :-( It does not have
any effect.
