BYOND Build Number:487.1096
Operating System:Windows 7
Video/Graphics Card:Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Game Hub/Link:None
Internet Connection Type:Router
Firewalls/Routers:Cisco Linksys E1000

Problem Description:Sometimes/usually when I minimize my pager and then later pull it back up it appears to have a blank white screen with the BYOND banner still at the top (if I received or sent any pagers they will be in the background). I found that I can fix this by exiting out of the pager and reopening it but this can be troublesome and annoying.

Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1.Minimize Pager
2.Bring it back up later

I'm not sure there's anything to be done about that; we have no way to reliably reproduce it. It's obviously a painting issue, but the cause is not clear.

One thing I do know is that the list control, for reasons unknown, has trouble when it handles a large number of items. We use this control for your friends list (among others), so if you have a large number of friends and/or watchers and even have offline friends showing, your list may take a while to update, which could temporarily cause the app to seem busy, but that should go away on its own.

Alright i'll try putting it so my offline friends don't show although it doesn't go away on its own as I've left it like that for a whole day before.

Of course the problem isn't resolved; there is no new information.

I put in a little work on something that might mitigate this in the pager, but I'm not 100% sure it will work.
