John -
I've been running the same, since 4-16-06. I did have problems and
wrote you with screenshots attached. I re-sent the attachments. Never
received acknowledgement, etc.
Did you receive the following?

John -
The attachment contains three screen-shots:
JBSWU_monA.jpg 40777 4-15-06 0:21 ImgWdl 4OS2 problem
JBSWU_monB.jpg 48281 4-15-06 0:21 ImgWdl 4OS2 problem
JBSWU_monC.jpg 44849 4-16-06 2:48 ImgWdl CMD.EXE is okay
...all three "snapped" while running your latest from jbswubeta.zip.
In "A' and "B", 4OS2 is my command-processor.
In "C" CMD.EXE is my command-processor.
"A" shows the monitor v.shortly after invocation under 4OS2. Actually,
a second yellow text line flashes in, but goes too quickly to catch.
"B" shows the monitor after it's settled down, under 4OS2. You can see
screen areas (residue from "A") which should have been blanked, but
which weren't:
the topmost line;
the right-most column; and
a few parts elsewhere, mostly rightward.
"C" shows the "settled-down" monitor under CMD.EXE (instead of 4OS2).
The blue-colored background areas are a remnant of my default screen color.
IMPORTANTLY, in "C" the blue demonstrates screen areas *not blanked* by
your WU-monitor -- causing the problem shown in "B".
I had a similar corrupt display (under 4OS2) with an earlier version of
your WU-monitor. Wrote you about it then; and you fixed it.
Clearly the problem is back: incorrect blanking in the final display.
I hope you'll be willing to build the fix, else I'm back to v4.0. I
make very heavy daily use of 4OS2; ..."can't live without it". There
are others like me, I'd bet.
- Regards, Bill
