1626 - Does not refresh after opening minimized window

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 2421

(Core Graveyard :: Viewer App, defect, P1)

Description

[Claudius Gayle]

XPViewer on WinNT and Win95:
 The browser does not redraw the interior of the window when you open a
once-minimized window.
To reproduce:
1. Launch XPViewer.exe.
2. Confirm that the window is in a 'tiled' state, i.e. not maximized by pressing
maximize button.
3. Minimize.
4. Un-minimize

You would expect that the page was re-layed out but you'd be wrong. It acts like
a transparent window (I know that's an oxymoron) because you can see the desktop
through it.

Taking off ss: list per bug mtg today.  Putting on Release Notes.

this is because there is no document to draw because the URL is bad. the fix
for this is for some other level of the app to detect the case of a bad url and
create and empty document so that we at least paint the window white or
something.

I'm unable to reproduce this. Perhaps you can verify and then close it out.

I just looked at this again and I don't think it's because of a bad url. I just
reproduced it at majorleaguebaseball.com. The behavior is similar to what was
noted before. In this case it only draws the MLB logo. I believe this problem
has something to do with the way the browser handles frames - just a hunch but I
just noticed I haven't seen this on a non-frames site.

This now in Release Notes.  Taking off rn: radar.

This bug still exists. The 'main' frame doesn't show any text. Jevering is
obviously not the right person for it, re-assigning to michaelp (guessing).
Please reassign if you're not the right guy.

Is this bug on Win32 only?  also, this was reported against xpViewer which is no
longer valid.  claudius, please try all 3 platforms with Feb01 build and give us
the scoop.

marking verified as duplicate of 2421. Logic dictates that 2421 be marke a duplicate of 1626, but whatever.
My new comments will appear on that bug.
