Screen Refresh Command?

Post by DR White » Sun Sep 15, 2013 2:12 pm

Since I have loaded LC version 6.5, the objects on my screen are not refreshing as they did before
and the object that were hidden are now showing shadows on the top layer.
If I move the mouse across them, they become normal.
I am sure that LC will resolve this issue quickly, but meantime I need a way to force the entire screen to refresh the card graphics.

I have looked several places for a "Screen Refresh" command, but I have not found one yet.

Does anyone know, if there is a LC "Screen Refresh" command?

Thanks,

David

I would go back to 6.1 if there are issues with 6.5. This is still in community testing. But do forward the point to the team.

What is the best way to force a screen redraw? There ought to be a command, if there isn't one, that forces a complete screen redraw. This is important when doing snapshots of screen changes that are coded.

Either "lock screen;unlock screen" or "go this cd" should work.

But also note Craig's suggestion of testing in the release version as well, v6.1. The 6.5dp release notes not that it has many experimental features and should not be used for anything but testing at this time.

I took Craig's advice and went back to 6.1

I am very eagerly waiting for 6.5 release with 'Resolution Independence"
