Hello,

on my Netbook (MSI Wind 100, 2 GB RAM) there is a wierd bug using 4.51 RC2.
The area in which the source is displayed is not refreshed. It seems that there is a #WM_PAINT message missing.

I can load code and projects -the related tabs in the IDE will be opened, but the area in which the source should be displayed is completeley empty - a plain yellow scintila gadget. No caret, no linenumbers, no scrollbar (even if I load a big source)... nothing.
I can show a screenshot first in 8 hours, because my netbook is at home.

There is no problem with 4.51RC1 on my Netbook but also no problem with the current 4.51RC2 on my desktop PC.
As I wrote, really wierd

We don't have changed anything between RC1 and RC2 gadget/window/scintilla wise.

Thanks for the fast reply. I will test this issue under different conditions this evening.

The bug occured today morning when I started the Netbook from 'sleepmode'. Maybe this is the reason?
Or there is something wrong with the installtion of RC2... I had not much time this morning for more checks.

I will keep you informed.

I almost had forgotten about it, but now I recall: I sometimes had the same problem with the Linux version of PB 4.50 x86 (never encountered it with the Windows version of that release).

Hello Freak and Fred,

its all ok now. There must have been an error in the Purebasic prefs file.
On my desktop PC I changed something in the settings then saved the settings and copied the prefs file to the netbook.
Since this time the problem was solved on the 4.51RC2 installation on the netbook.

I found this out, because a fresh installation (without copying the old prefs file) worked perfect on the netbook.
