Actually, now that you mention it, I've seen this too. In my case, only 
some of the controls in the child window are not redrawn, and then only 
when first displayed. To get around this, I did an explicit 
refreshWindow(mychildwin) call in the w32HActivate handler.

Can you send me the smallest example code that demostrates the effect you 
have? --
