From Paul Blitz: pilotdb@blitzfamily.org.uk

I've found 2 quirks on my iQue 3600, I'll log each
separately. Both relate to the soft-grafitti area in
one way or another.

The ique 3600 has a large screen, with a "soft"
grafitti area, which can be popped down to make more space.

If you pop up the grafitti pad, and then pop it down
again, the list of records at the bottom of the screen
is NOT repainted, nor are the "back arrow", the "filter
list" or the scroll arrows. (However, if you remember
their locations, they do work correctly, and THAT item
does get repainted ok.

Scrolling (either by tapping the arrow, or by a button)
does repaint the lines of data in the bottom 1/4 of the
screens (but not the menu items).

Doing something to repaint the whole screen fixes the
problem (until you pop up the grafitti pad again!)

The same issue is present in the "view record details"
page, as well as on the initial "select database" page.

If you choose to "modify" a record, then the grafitti
pad automatically pops up, but now has a white
rectangle where the "modify" button was. (popping down
then up the grafitti pad clears that)

If you use the "find" function, then the grafitti pad
does NOT automatically pop up (another bug???)... you
do that manually, and see the reported problem again.

If you "change the viewed fields" (top right pulldown
menu), then the full screen is repainted.... and if you
happened to have the grafitti pad popped up, it is
incorrectly over-painted (but is still just visible
where the "back" / "new" / "filter" etc options don't
completely cover the bottom lines). Although
over-painted, it still functions.

(If you use the "keyboard" option at any time, then the
upper part of the screen repaints correctly as expected.)

So, there seems to be confusion in lower 1/4 of the
screen, caused by a "fight" between the grafitti pad,
and the bottom rows of data.

Version of Pilot-DB is 1.1.3, PalmOS is 5.2.1r3
