There are still numerous display issues being reported in OpenDCL 6 since my attempt to refactor the control painting code by removing redundant and inefficient operations. Since I cannot reproduce many of the display problems on my system, I'm having trouble fixing them. Worst of all, fixing a problem by trial and error often leads to new problems that I can't see on my development system.
I need a different plan of attack. Ideally, I'd like to be able to reproduce the problems under the debugger. If I could create or configure a virtual machine identical to one of your problem computers, I might be able to reproduce the display problems in the virtual machine. To help me do that, I'd like to gather some information from those of you experiencing display problems in the Alpha 15 build.
If you are experiencing display problems such as controls not getting painted properly until you pass the mouse over them, or controls on tab pages not displaying, etc., please reply here with exact system details, including graphics card. My development system is running Windows 7 x64, so if you are able to reproduce the display problems on a Windows 7 system, I'd certainly like to compare notes.
At this point I'm not sure what else to try. I will skip an Alpha 16 release this week to see if I can get a better handle on these problems.
