Hello All,
I am running IDL 5.5 on Debian Linux system (Kernel 2.4.22-1-686)
and when I have a display window, moving the mouse over the IDL
display window makes the entire screen change colours.
These are the first few lines of the programme which call the
colour table:
device, decomposed = 0, retain = 2
loadct, 13
...
tvscl,array
IDL> device,get_visual_depth=a
IDL> print,a
24
Thanks,
KB.

This fixed my problem.
