The IIIxe suffered from a bug on the Dragonball processor with screen memory that crossed the 4MB boundary, IIRC. Since the z22 uses a Samsung ARM processor with a totally different display mechanism, I'm sure your hitting a different problem. I could see this either being a write beyond the the of an array into video memory (your bug) or a problem where the refresh logic in the OS doesn't get to execute often enough (device problem). Device problems won't get fixed. -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/

Luc Le Blanc, could you send me a description of how to duplicate this?

If it's a device problem it can be fixed :) I'll try, but so far I don't have a set "recipe" and since I'm running on a real device, and not under POSE or Simulator, I don't know what the current line is. It may take some time. Luc Le Blanc -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/

Particularly on the z22, a device which had almost no hardware similarity with any of the current Treo/Centro devices. -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
