Re: [Freeglut-developer] parts of window freezing (W7)

[John F. F. <joh...@cy...>]

OK, I've built your code on my system and reproduce the error using MSVC 
6.0 and the latest SVN head version of "freeglut".

The next question is what to do to fix it.  Does anybody know if there's 
a "refresh the complete window" bit that needs to get set somewhere?
