I am guessing that these are composited single use bitmaps you are throwing together to represent the memory meter when its tool bar is being dragged. It is either that or they are full scale memory meter objects that are completely flatlined. When the meter was dropped into position, it left this behind, and then proceeded to either get pulled to snap or pushed out from nder the hanging sprite into position behind it. They Moving the memory meter again caused a second to snap to the first when the memory meter was dropped again, and now they are all in a nice row, except of course when you move the main IDE window under them. Then the real memory meter with the same z level as the rest of the toolbar moves ot expand and contract with the rest of the toolbar andn UI elements. They are always at 540 X by 20 Y (sounds right, they are up against the window's top bar). In fact, the reall memory meter still snaps to them briefl, and will join them in line and stay if you drag him past them by resizing the ide. Kind of fun.

However, I'd rather be coding, if this thing can hold together, so I've taken two pictures. so if you can''t reproduce e-mail me and I'll forward them to you. kurt@monkeykeyboard.com
