14.  Editfields don't redraw properly

I'm having issues w/ this myself.  :P  I don't think it's a DRAWER problem, 
but rather a Compositing problem.  I had Compositing turned on in another 
window (non-drawer/metal) and had the same redrawing issues, but when I 
turned compositing off, the problems went away.

My two cents.
