[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Screen patches, still occuring?

["Robert B" <oh1226@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unpatched means that not-repainted clipping rectangles.
I had lots of them in the past. Most common ones are
small fellows, say, 20x10 pixels, or vertical or horizontal
lines, or areas not repainted, retaining previous images.

On Eclipse SDK, open lots of elements for "Package explore"
make both scrollbars appear. Then pull down the SDK
so the right-bottom rectangle area (where two scrollbars
meet) goes below Windows task bar. Try up and down. You will
see the area get unpatched images!

This could be a related problem. The problem I seen normally
happens in the spacing area where no components are
drawn. For example, margin areas in formlayout, etc.
