Blinking Boolean Text is on every tab - why?

Hi
 
I build a vi with a tab. On one of the tabs should blink a "Text Button". But when the Button is blinking the "Boolean Text" is seen on every tab, although the Button is only on one tab.
 
Like always: an example tells more than 1000 words, see attached vi
 
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you in advance!

Hi XS-er
 
I just ran your vi - without any strange behaviour.

Hi Thomas,

 

Did you test that in LV 8.0?

 

It behaves as reported by XS-er when I run it in LV 7.1.

I recall this as being a bug (not sure which version) but if you tested in in LV 8.X then the bug has been fixed.

Obviously it must be a bug. I ran it under LV 8.0 without any problem.
 
So - you guys definitely have to upgrade ;).

I prefer to deal with the enemy I know than the enemy I don't know.
 
I am not to the first to be of this opinion. When Saul offered David his sword, shield and armor, he shunned them and decided to confront Goliath with just a sling and his faith.
 
My "sling" may be a little ragged, but I have slayed many a beast with it.

Other than upgrading to v8.x, the workaround frequently used is to enable blinking for the boolean only when the page containing it is the active tab page.
In LV6.0.x, everything that blinked showed through tabs. That was fixed in LV6.1 ... except for booleans with text which obviously took a bit longer.
