1. RE: I need help.
Derek,
I thought I might have mentioned this one earlier when XP first came
out. I saw this issue but I think only when using fancy XP shell (as
opposed to "Windows Classic" theme).
Anyway, I'm not seeing this using 0.57.9 and if I come across any old
emails regarding it I'll let you know. My guess is that he's using an
older version of the lib...

I've seen this "see-through" line of pixels before on Windows (non-Eu)
programs -- I think it is Windows quirk (I have Win ME). Usually it
goes away just by forcing a redraw (minimize, maximize) but not always
and happens most often in programs with "grabbable" toolbars that are
docked at the top...

I remember telling people about this perhaps a few months ago, and
nobody believed me. It's almost 3 AM, and about to head off to bed, so
I'm going to be brief. On my XP Home system, I noticed a one pixel line
just under the menu bar that stretches from one side of the window to
the other, inside the Windows-drawn border. Without any menus, it works
fine. I have not tried it with different themes, so I can't say if it's
a specific problem with frames that are not the same size as those of
older Windows versions.
A while back I tried using code to draw a line on that portion of the
window. I can't remember if I was ever successful, but I don't think I
was. It's worth a shot, for those of you who are having this issue..
Good night everybody!
