Summary: Restore from taskbar blanks core window

Initial Comment:
When restoring Ayttm from a minimized state in the
taskbar, the main Ayttm window doesn't redraw a) the
menu bar, b) the image control [or whatever that big
white sunken control with all the account details is],
c) the status bar and d) the vertical scroll bar. I
will provide a screenshot if that helps.

Occurrence: 100%

It may be worth mentioning that I'm running Blackbox
for Windows as my shell, but I don't think BB4Win's
BBSystemBar plugin would affect Ayttm like this. No
problems with any other app AFAIK, anyway.

Thought I'd submitted this one before but maybe I only
daydreamed it.

Ayttm v0.4.6-17, Windows 2000 SP4

Please verify that you have spellchecker disabled and 
anything else. If you could install 'drmingw' onto your system 
and gdb (Mingw dev environment according to 
README.WIN32) you could produce a very helpful stack trace 
if the program is crashing. Other than that I am not sure how 
to fix this as I can not reproduce it. 

How long should it sit in the taskbar? Any events happening 
while it is iconified?

RUn me through the steps so I can reproduce.

Hi plasmoidia,

Where can I get 0.4.6-24? I'm using 0.4.6-17 atm. The
download page only shows build 17.

BB4Win [Blackbox for Windows] is a shell replacement. You
can read about it at
http://wiki.bb4win.org/index.php?pagename=Main.BB4Win ,
which is a page on a wiki I set up for them. :) There's
links to more info there, if interested.

I haven't compiled it myself. Might be worth a try, but I'm
not really familiar with GTK [yet!]. Happens every time I
minimise and restore, yes. I can either alt-tab to restore
or click on the taskbar task, makes no difference there.

Hi Fatman,
I haven't had any problems with this with WinXP Pro (Ayttm 
0.4.6-24).  What is Blackbox for Windows?  You are saying 
that if you minimize Ayttm and then restore it, the main 
window does not redraw (as shown in your screenshot)?  I 
can minimize and restore with no problems.  Have you 
installed from an install package, or compiled from source?

Hi anonymous.

I doubt it's a dialog hanging because it happens every time
I restore from the taskbar. Sometimes I have trouble
connecting to AIM, MSN or ICQ, but in that case there is an
extra window showing a sort of "waiting" bar, so I can tell
when that happens.  Either that or it shows me a GTK message
box saying "Could not connect to XXX network." No problems
there, apart possibly from the reliability of the AIM, MSN
and ICQ plugins. I know they constantly change their
protocols so it's hard to keep up.

Besides, I can tell the window is active and not waiting for
a dialog to terminate. The workaround is to maximise and
restore the window.

I'm sure it's something related to the processing of the
WM_SIZE message, perhaps when wParam == SIZE_RESTORED.

Non standard installation? I'm using the Windows version if
that's what you mean. :) 

I'll attach a screenshot anyway, what the hell.

Hello,

I can not reproduce. However, this has happened in the past 
and is specifically related to the AYTTM program hung 
somewhere, where I do not know. If you are using a non-
standard installation this could be the cause. This is a bug 
actually, but one that is nearly impossible to track down. Find 
out what is happening. Perhaps there is a dialog hanging out 
somewhere.
