I managed to get something similar in one of my noddy applications,
I queried the clip rectangle for the Graphics object in the Frame
paint method.
I know that it is possible to get a smaller clip rectangle
through refreshes but I never saw those, only the resize.
I believe this behaviour may have been due to the layout of the
components in the Frame, the components were totally obscuring it.
Under this circumstance it looks like paint will only get called
when the Frame is invalid, i.e. when it has changed shape.
This is only a theory (and I have only tried it once) so your
mileage may vary.
Perhaps someone who know for sure can comment?
Kev
P.S. Don't forget the Frame Insets, they're included in the
width and height.
