PWB 1.10 Dialog Boxes May Blink After Dialog Help Is Obtained

Summary:

When working with the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) version 1.10 under

DOS, there are several instances where a dialog box may start flashing

incorrectly. This situation occurs when you obtain help on a PWB

informational pop-up dialog box and then return from the Help dialog

screen. At this point you may find that the original dialog box is

rapidly blinking.

This problem may occur when trying to get help on a topic for which

there is no help, trying to use an unassigned key, or when PWB informs

you that you changed a file but didn't save it before you tried to

exit. In each of these cases, PWB gives you a pop-up dialog box

informing you of the situation. If you get help on this informational

dialog box and then press ESC or click Cancel, the original dialog box

will start blinking.

This is not normal behavior, however, PWB is still fully functional

and you may proceed by selecting an appropriate choice from the

flashing dialog box.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Programmer's

WorkBench version 1.10. We are researching this problem and will post

new information here as it becomes available.
