WkTableWidgetView repaints with funny colors

Hi Group,

When using a WkTableWidgetView in a form in an AbtSwitcherView, after changing to a different form and then back, the WkTableWidgetView paints with a dark gray background color.  This seems like a bug.  For now I would like any kind of circumvention anybody can come up with.  I have tried sending the view:

#hide followed by #show

#redraw

#refreshAllItems

refreshing the items with the items

creating a clean list of items

none of which works.  I have sort on for clicking a column heading, clicking one repaints with the correct coloring.

Anybody have any other ideas?  TIA.

Hi Solveig,

I have circumvented this problem.  On returning to the form that was displaying with the funny colors the data needs to be refreshed.  I found that forking the code to refresh the data painted it correctly where not forking it didn't.  That might have something to do with the UI process but that is just a guess.

As for supplying an example, that won't be very easy and I don't have much time right now.  This program is in VA Smalltalk 8.0.3, so the problem might not even exist is later versions.  If I get some time, I will see what I can whip up.  Anyway, thanks for the reply.

Hi Lou,

Could you send in an example showing the problem? We'll take a look at it.

Best,
