Description duncank 2009-01-13 03:17:00 UTC

In some instances the code editor or output windows become garbled. This occurs when scrolling the windows up or down.
It is as if repainting is not clearing the screen.  I have noticed that a particular part of the contents of the window
triggers this behaviour. For example, in one particular class file I can scroll up and down quite happily as long as I
stay below a certain point in the file, but as soon as I go above that point the display gets garbled.

I have a screenshot image of one of these garbled displays, but I'm not sure how I can submit it here.

By the way, I'm running on Linux now, but I also experienced this issue in Windows with 6.1. The other developers here
(who are still using 6.0) do not experience this issue.
