Hi Paul,
It is no memory issue. Revolution just happens to forget to (re)draw
the window.
One of the scenarios that may cause this is:
-- mainstack
on preOpenStack
lock screen
lock messages
go invisible stack x
-- set rect of stack x e.g.
-- then show stack
show stack x --substack
end preOpenStack
It doesn't happen all the time, but script similar to the above may
cause a white screen. Apparently, Rev doesn't get the time to update
the window.
To solve this issue, usually I try something like this:
-- mainstack
on preOpenStack
send showMe to stack x in 0 millisecs
end preOpenStack
-- substack
on showMe
go invisible cd 1 of me
set the bottomright of me to -100,-100
-- set rect of me
-- then show me
set the loc of me to the screenloc
end showMe
I hope you get the idea. I don't have a specific recipe but usually
try something along these lines.
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

Hi everybody:
Do any of you know all of the reasons (or as many as you can think
of) why opening a stack by script could cause it to show white and
blank? This happens to me sometimes. In the Rev Window menu, the
blank window is checked, and when I manually item-select it the
blank window returns to normal. This will happen repeatedly with
the same window. Is it a memory issue?
Thanks for any contributions.
