Unfortunately, time available/annoyance ratio has not been high enough for me to do anything about it yet. It was working fine until a bug fix was made to tweak a redrawing problem on one screen. At that time, moving between two virtual desktops stopped working. I am guessing that if you check the timing of my original message and check the window drawing based bug fixes around that time, you will find the code that is the problem. Then what has to be done is fixing this without rebreaking what was fixed by that repair. Until you do so, if you have multiple windows up and go to another virtual window, when you come back either move the (now empty) window a little or minimize it and then bring it back. Either one will restore what is on the window. -Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com > [mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com]On Behalf Of William Conrad > Halliburton > Sent: Monday, January 26, 2004 9:20 AM > To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com > Subject: Redrawing problems with MSVDM > > > > > I am using Microsoft Virtual Desktop Manager under XP with > the latest cygwin. > > XWin -multiwindow > > When switching back to a desktop with a window from the > XServer the window > will often not refresh and is drawn completly blank.
