Hollywood forums

I think this might be a MorphOS bug and reported there, but as I haven't got any feedback from MorphOS team yet, I thought to ask what Andreas thinks about it too. If it'd be something in Hollywood after all...

If I change objects in a group in a MUI window dynamically, and the window isn't active, the window doesn't get refreshed properly. The inactive window gets filled with the background color, and even its borders disappear. The window gets drawn properly only after I move the mouse over it, I don't have to activate it by clicking, but just move the mouse pointer over it.

Here is a test program, which just displays one line of text initially, waits for 2 seconds, and adds an image object to the window after it.

When I launch that under MorphOS, it shows this window after the 2 seconds:

And then only after I move mouse over it, it gets refreshed to what it's supposed to look:

I can reproduce it only on MorphOS but not on AmigaOS 3 or 4. With AmigaOS window contents get refreshed properly immediately.

Definitely a MorphOS MUI bug if you ask me... MUI Royale doesn't do such lowlevel stuff at all, it just calls the respective MUI functions.

Yeah, well.. it seems to refresh the window on any event, so I made a workaround like this now "SetTimeout(Nil, Function() EndFunction, 10)" just to trigger some event

Well, turned out to be a Hollywood bug after all
