This is one of the few times that I have posted here. That's because almost always, with any issue that I have experience, someone else has to and I'm able to find a resolution. My thanks to those who take the time to help this community. This time, I am not able to find any thread that touches upon the issue that I am experiencing. So here goes!

When I drag a form across the screen using my mouse, it leaves a trail of itself over other forms. I'm thinking it's a refresh issue. I've spent a ton of time trying to identify the cause of the issue. Attached is a screenshot that better illustrates the issue that I am experiencing.

Any advice would be great!

Thanks, Ray

You can get this when the form that shows the trail has it's lockscreen property .t.

Repro-code:
Code:
oform1=CreateObject("form")
oform1.top = 100
oform1.left = 100
oform1.Visible = .t.
oform1.lockscreen=.t.

oform2=CreateObject("form")
oform2.Visible =.t.
When you now drag the top form over the bottom form you get a trail of the form, like this:
