In the T3 simulator, go to a form that has a multi-line
editable field, and tap in the field. Maximize the
screen (i.e., hide the graffiti area), and then select
Keyboard from the Edit menu. The Palm OS automatically
minimizes the screen and displays the graffiti area.
Tap on Done. The keyboard goes away, the screen is once
again maximized, but the bottom portion of the screen
is not redrawn.

I am calling ResizeHandleEvent at the top of the event
handler for this form, and the form is in the WORDLIST
for forms to be resized.

Is this a bug in palmresize? Is it a bug in the Palm
OS? Or is there something I need to do differently in
my code?

Thanks.

    I expect it's a bug in palmresize. Would you be able to send
    me a bit of sample code? My two test apps don't have
    any "keyboard" option in the edit menus.

    I can't really send you my code. The easiest thing would be
    to just add an Edit menu to the screen you see in Plucker
    when you select Options/Contact the developers. There should
    be one on that screen anyway :-)

    You don't even need to change your code, just add the menu
    items with the standard IDs:

    PULLDOWN "Edit"
    BEGIN
    MENUITEM "Undo" sysEditMenuUndoCmd "U"
    MENUITEM "Cut" sysEditMenuCutCmd "X"
    MENUITEM "Copy" sysEditMenuCopyCmd "C"
    MENUITEM "Paste" sysEditMenuPasteCmd "P"
    MENUITEM "Select All" sysEditMenuSelectAllCmd "S"
    MENUITEM SEPARATOR
    MENUITEM "Keyboard" sysEditMenuKeyboardCmd "K"
    MENUITEM "Graffiti Help" sysEditMenuGraffitiCmd "G"
    END

    and it will all just work.
