Backing Store Question [message #45465]

Folks,

In poking around in the IDL documentation this morning, I came
upon this in the WIDGET_DRAW documentation:

On some systems, when backing store is provided by the
window system (RETAIN=1), reading data from a window
using TVRD( ) may cause unexpected results. For example,
data may be improperly read from the window even when
the image displayed on screen is correct. Having IDL
provide the backing store (RETAIN=2) ensures that the
window contents will be read properly.

Anybody have any idea which systems this is taking about?

Cheers,

David
