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.
