[wxhaskell-users] repaint doesn't repaint

[Kirsten C. <cat...@gm...>]

Hi,
When I call repaint, the window isn't actually repainted until I cover
my application's window with another window and then bring my
application to the foreground again. I have code in my mouse event
handler that calls repaint, so I would expect the window to be
repainted as soon as the user clicks the mouse, not after the window
is brought to the background and then the foreground. Is this a bug?
I'm using wxHaskell 0.8 and ghc 6.2.1 on Fedora Core 1.
Thanks,
Kirsten

Does the bouncing balls demo work? It uses repaint to repaint a window 
in a timer. If that demo does work maybe you can see from the source 
code why your code is not working.
