What were you trying to do?
Trying to scroll a window that happened to be partially behind
another window.
What's wrong:
If you scroll up (or down) in a window that is under another
window, the data that is scrolled up (or down) is blanked out.
What should have happened:
The data should be displayed.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
First submitted as a bug in Sept, 1988. I was told that it
was going to be fixed in the next release, but it is still with us.
To demostrate:
Start up a window with scroll bars (I used xdiscuss with the
INFO-MAC meeting). Stretch the window so that it goes from the top of
the screen to the bottm. Start up a new application (e.g. emacs) with
the window overlaying the xdiscuss one. Use the scroll bars on the
xdiscuss window. Scroll up or down and see thw words disappear.
