1955.0. "Display refresh problem Hubwatch V3.1" by KERNEL::WARDJO () Wed Feb 01 1995 12:34

    Hello,
    
    A customer is having problems with screen refresh with hubwatch
    V3.1 for windows. The screen is not refreshed correctly when a dialogue 
    box is overlaid. An example is the welcome box, once the OK button has been 
    clicked the box dissapears but leaves a blank square.
    
    In other cases the display underneath is refreshed but offset from the
    original top display.
    
    It can be cleared by doing a refresh of the screen, but the customer is
    finding it very annoying.
    
    Hubwatch for Windows 3.1.0
    MSDOS 6.2.
    
    Customer has tried it on several PCs, including a DEClpx 486, all have
    had more than the minimum hardware config as per the SPD. Have used
    Etherworks 201 & etherworks 205 (III) cards with same results. 
    Using hubwatch on a 90 hub or a 900 hub makes no difference.
    
    I am inclined to think it may be something on the PC setup but would be
    grateful for any help.
    
    Thanks,

    I have just spoken to the customer & he said he made a mistake, and
    in fact the problem only occurs on ICL PCs with the HRA10 Video adaptor
    & the windows driver ICLHRA800x600/256/small fonts.
    
    I suggested he talks to ICL about it but he pointed out he has no
    problems with other windows applications that he runs.
    
    Has anyone seen anything similar?
