Pttrhbbt!
I you had listened to me...I have said several times during the last
years...actually so many times that I don't bother to say it any more:
LyX is using the update/drawing mechanism in XForms _WRONG_ during
normal operations this does not matter, but with resize and stuff like
that it will show. For those of you that have been on this list a long
while you will remember that we once tried to do all the drawing in
the bufferview using xforms functions. What we then got was garbled
output, with colors being totally wrong and element not redrawn as
they should.
If you now wonder _what_ is lyx doing wrong: The XForms documentation
states that _all_ drawing on screen should be done in some xforms
update/redraw callback/evenhandler. LyX is not doing this so we
sometimes destroy the state in XForms the result is strange displays.
It is my strong belief that this is what is causing the strange redraw
bugs that we sometimes see. If I had an easy way to get rid of this I
would have used it ages ago...but perhaps the time has come to look at
this once more.
