you broke something?

[Dave Dyer]

Yesterday's builds were fine.  Today's builds stall with a blank screen, waiting to refresh the

first window.  They seem to get kicked into action by any external event,

such as changing orientation.   Still investigating.

[Dave Dyer]

A stroll through the code revealed that the frame was never laid out, and adding

this incantation to the form creation fixes the problem.

            setAllowEnableLayoutOnPaint(true);

It may be the case that I'm especially vexed by this because my frames

are blank (contain no widgets) from your point of view.

I'd appreciate any insight into why this came up on today's build but never before.

If you can post a test case, I'd be interested to see it.  We recently turned off this "layout on paint" feature and added the manual override because:

1. Turning it off caused significant performance improvements, especially when scrolling.

2. All of my samples seemed to still work fine with it off.

Rather than rely on this flag, it would be better to identify the edge cases that fail without it, so we can fix those.

I'll see what I can do.  My use of the window system involves not using

any standard widgets or standard layout managers, so it might be

difficult to simplify.
