Screen repainting -- not

[Edis, Robert]

My first guess is you've reached some system resource limit.  This happens in some OS's when system memory allocated to video output has been screeetccheed to the limit.

HPe3000, PowerHouse 7.19C

We are trying to conduct performance a test of a third-party application by using Reflection macros
to repeat a series of steps. We find that when we get to the 141st iteration, the PowerHouse QUICK
screen doesn't completely repaint when returning to the main menu. Any number of iterations fewer
than 141works fine.  The steps we are testing are:

   1) going from the main menu to a sub menu by typing menu number
   2) going into a subscreen by typing number from menu
   3) issuing a F (find) command at the action field
   4) entering data for find which retrieves record
   5) entering ^ at the action field to back up one menu
   6) entering ^ at the next action field to bring us back to the main menu.

We have similar results in other screens in our menu system, but the number of iterations until it
fails varies by screen.

Thanks in advance for any insights.
