Re: [perl-win32-gui-hackers] Odd problem with 671

[Jeremy W. <jez...@ho...>]

Today has been one of those days - if it can go wrong, it has!

Anyway, I've retested - and there is a problem - although I'm having 
difficult in getting a small enough example working (I'll try again in the 
morning). However, I came across another issue with PPM 671 and 671 built 
with ming. The issue is with the -flicker option.

I'm on XP, with 5.6.1 (I'll do testing on win98 boxes tomorrow).

The example below (created by Steve a couple of months back) runs fine on 
ming 671, but with the PPM version the background of the window isn't 
painted, causing a mess in the window.

Very strange.

Cheers,

jez.
