#Window Wierdness

I'm having a peculiar problem with windows in a couple of my programs. Maybe someone else has shared this problem and can help me out. In both cases I've opened a window in a custom screen. Window flags include WINDOWDRAG in both cases. One window also has WINDOWSIZING and SUPER_BITMAP. The other is a SMART_REFRESH window. In the case of the SuperBitMap window, I can't resize or move the window. In the case of the Smart Refresh window, I simply can't move the window. In each case the window frame moves/resizes, but when the mouse button is released nothing happens. As a peculiar side-effect, some of the colors in my SuperBitMap window change as well. Very strange stuff, and I've checked my code very carefully. I've never had these problems in previous programs, so I'm really at a loss here. Anybody got a clue? /brent

One possible cause of that (window snaps back when you release the button on a resize or move) is lack of memory. If Intuition decides it doesn't have enough memory to do the move, it skips it. Try running it with less other processes running, or less in RAM:, or whatever it takes to give it more working area. Just a guess… – Bela
