Window blinks on resize

#1

Hello,
When I resize some windows in FMP 5/W98, there is a blinking effect
something like the flashing of a portal but, instead of showing the window
correctly and flashing to black and back again, the window flashes to white
and back to normal. This occurs when resizing a window by any corner or side
border. I think this developed recently and only occurs with some, not all,
databases. Has anyone seen this behavior?
Thanks,
Bill

Thanks Lou,
I was concerned about the possibility of file corruption.

Filemaker is a little trick when it comes to graphics (Im assuming you
have
a bunch of graphics on your page) - if the background colr is white and
the
your graphiics are a different color, every time the screen redraws, it
draws the bacl layer first giving you the flash effect.
