Author [VW7.2.1] Flickering popup menu in WinXP SP2

A user in France reports that popup menus are flickering severely in an
application written in VW7.2.1 when his French WinXP was updated to
SP2. The problem did not exist in WinXP prior to SP2.

I have noticed the flickering popup menus occasionally in the US WinXP
with SP2. Is there a patch or workaround?

All the best,
Aik-Siong Koh

Hello,
this is a known problem in VW7.2.1, I'm sure a patch exists, but you can
patch your image on your own: the only thing to do is to add one line in
method InputState>>send:eventButtonPress:, see below.

Regards,

Marc
