Flicker on TAB pages with STATICAREA

[ivanvazan]

Hi Roger,

There is another issue I found after upgrading my eXpress from version 240 to 254. This issue one is with the TAB pages and STATICAREA.

I think it might have something to do with:
1069. Fixed flicker problem when updating a DC_XbpStatic() caption. Alaska fixed a bug, so removed workaround.

I am using Xbase++ 1.9 SL1 build 355 and eXpress build 254.
Attached is a simple TAB-TEST program which will show you the issue.
There are 4 similar tabs with DCSAY's and DCGET's. Just hit the ENTER key and arrow down to move through the GETS.
1st tab - no STATICAREA, no BG color - no flicker
2nd tab - no STATICAREA, BG color - no flicker
3rd tab - STATICAREA, no BG color - no flicker
4th tab - STATICAREA, BG color - very bad flicker (looks like all DCSAYS's are being constantly refreshed)

The flicker is on the 4th tab page only - and it is caused by the STATICAREA and COLOR clause combo. If you remove either one, flicker disappears.

Most of the edit screens in my applications are using tabs with STATICAREA clause (I like the HILITEGETS option), so this is affecting all of them (with build 254).
Is there anything you can do to eliminate this flicker in build 255? Thanks.

Roger,
Did you have a chance to look at this issue yet?

Hey Roger, please ignore my previous post. I've just noticed that you released build 255 and fixed the issue there. Thanks.
