Hello,
after a while of inactivity regarding IDL I now work
quiet a lot with the new Version of IDL (5.5).
But there is a really annoying bug in it which I have
not seen being reported on this list yet (by searching
the archives):
Anytime I start a program in the commandline (IDLDE), the
editor window is blanked and not redrawn correctly
after the program ended. When I want to edit again
I have to mark the (invisible) text or move it up and
down, so it gets redrawn correctly. Am I the only one
experiencing this bug? Or is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Olaf

Yes, I am using objets, but only the two that come with dataminer. I really
work a lot with dataminer, actually I am plotting data directly from our
mysql database, so I need to retrieve the data first with dataminer.
Maybe there are some bugs in it that are not yet known because DM is
not used very much it seems.

Just so you know you aren't going crazy, I just experienced this same
behavior today in 5.5.
The problem is that for me I am in no position to blame IDL since my
application is big, in heavy development, leaks some memory, and if it runs
too long eventually gives me the BSOD complaining about my video driver
(anvioctl?). So I have other issues.
I know on win98 and 5.3 (my) programs that leaked memory would cause all
sorts of problems with IDL and the OS. Are you using any pointers or
objects?
