I'm guessing, but does setting RETAIN=2 on your draw widget
have any effect?
Cheers,

I've just today experienced the window resize craziness on my (Tiger)
Mac under IDL 6.1. I drag a corner of a window containing a draw
widget and IDL spends 10 minutes enlarging the window one pixel at a
time, redrawing the graphics at each step. The strange thing is that
it is intermittant -- it does not usually do this.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

PS My recent switch from Solaris to OS-X has been fairly painful in a
variety of ways, but I still have hopes that in the end I will be glad
I did. The first thing we did is toss the Apple mouse & keyboard in
the trash and plug in a 3-button mouse and our old Sun keyboard. Now
if only someone knew how to get OS-X to enable keystrokes on those
wonderful 10 extra keys on the left side of the Sun keyboard---you know
Copy, Paste, Cut, Open, Find, ...

I'm down with ya, man!
I've got most of my woes taken care of now, thanks for all
the help. I still have the problem with LOTS of events
during a window resize, but now I learn this is IDL 6.0
and not the IDL 6.2 version I was told it was. I don't
recall seeing it last week when I had three Macs in the
room and all running IDL 6.2 (although on different OS's).
It is sometimes hard to keep track of it all, but I'm trying
to take notes. :-)
Cheers,
Daivd

A "fix" for this was posted by Ken Mankoff a while back:
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
In a terminal just type the following and then restart X11:
defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_click_through -bool true
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
That cures the CURSOR problem, can't help with the resize issue.
As an aside, for most of us, the 'Mac whay heys!' far outnumber the
'Mac woes'. For example, Keynote preserves the vector character of
your EPS graphics (you can also drop-in PDF equations). And so on...
