- We had a discussion on the news about this earlier, but now that
- an entirely new version of the operating system is to come out soon,
- I would like to repeat this:
-
- Atari should introduce the WM_NEWTOP message in the multi tasking
- system (if they haven't already). Someone at Atari, as I suppose it
- went, misunderstood the potential meaning of this message: you're
- supposed to get it when ANY window was topped; not by the user
- (by clicking on the window), but by wind_set(WF_TOP). Also, it is
- assumed that the contents of a window do not change with its status,
- be this background/foreground or changing size. Example: in new TOSes
- when you make a window bigger, you will only get redraw messages for
- the parts that weren't visible already. I think this is WRONG.
- (Correct me if *I* am.)
