I tend to loose
The colors I choose
I got the IDL blues

The colors are flashing
The session is crashing
Labels have strange sizing rules

The online help won't work:
The display becomes weird
And the scrollbars are of no use

IDL 5 behaves bad
My widgets go mad
Yeah, I tell ya, I got the ol' IDL blues

Yes, I'm okay, just too many IDL problems today, maybe I also drank too
much tea. But why does the IDL online help scroll nearly two pages down
if I press the arrows, and not even one when I click between scrollbar
and arrow? Why do I sometimes have to mark the text to make it visible?
Why do my widgets size themselves wrong in IDL5?

Problem of the day: When there are too few free color cells for my IDL
application, I use the COLORS keyword in the first WINDOW command to
create my own color table with as many colors I want.
Now, is there a way to tell IDL which colors to take, and to keep some
of the lower color cells intact? That's where the system colors are, and
the colors of IDL's widgets.
It is very annoying when the display flashes when I enter and leave
windows. And the other application that has all the colors (it's another
IDL session, BTW) doesn't even have open windows at the time, so I would
not notice any flashing.

Sun UltraSparc, Solaris 2.5.

Alex, waiting for IDL 5.0.2
