Hi,

At the moment I'm running BOINC Manager 5.10.30 (but I've noticed the problem with previous versions to), and I'm having strange screen update problems on one of my computers.

The background of the (project related) button area turns (and remains) black as long as the window remains in focus or unhidden by other windows. If I force a full window update, for instance by minimizing and subsequent restoring the window, it is white again. But the problem recurs.

It could be a problem with my specific hardware and driver setup on that computer. It has a NVIDIA Quadro4 750 XGL, with driver version 6.14.10.9602. I've got a screen capture of the effect, but I'm not sure if and how I should upload that here.

It's not a really important problem, the program works fine, I just though I'd mention it here. Perhaps it is something that can be solved easily.

With my best wishes and a very nice Christmas to you all,

Wim

Use an image upload website like ImageShack, then post a link to it.

Are you running Windows?
