Thanks for the help I got on this from Harold and Alan. The application was
written in-house and after I asked the client for the source code, they
managed to find the error themselves. For some reason, this only showed up
in XFree86 though (not Exceed or Sun X-Windows). Here's what they said:
Hi Alan,
I wish I could. It's a legacy application used by my work called ISIS which
runs on an old VAX system (not an OS I'm really familiar with). I don't
think it's written in-house either, so getting the source code is probably a
no-no too. In fact, the same applies to most X apps we have a

Can you tell us about the application - is it available anywhere so I
can take a look too ?
Alan.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks Mark,
Unfortunately that didn't make any difference.
Maybe your app is expecting backing store. You can start XFree86
with backing store "startx -- +bs".

Looks like you have found a generic problem with X or one of the
libraries you are using. It is going to take a lot of debugging... you
are going to have to be that guy.

Is there anymore information I need to add to this post? I would really like
to get some help with it. The logs don't seem to be showing anything. I've
tried setting different color depths, and screen resolutions but to no
avail.

Hi,
I have an application which has some boxes in the window. The window itself
is scrollable. When I scroll down - no problem, but when I scroll up the
boxes turn into long vertical bars. This problem doesn't happen with Exceed,
but on XFree86 (both Linux XFree86 and Cygwin-XFree) it does.
