This is intentional. In low memory situations, dialogs sometimes can't allocated
enough memory to store the portion of the screen they're drawn on top of. In this
case, when the dialog is dismissed, the form has to do its own redrawing. The debug
ROMs simulate this low memory condition to expose latent bugs in applications. In
order to get your application to refresh properly on the debug ROMs (and on release
ROMs when memory is low), all you need to do is to handle the frmUpdateEvent, and make
it call FrmDrawForm, followed by any WinDraw lines and such, then return with handled
= true.
