LabVIEW front panel "tearing" display glitch

[RRRRSSSS]

Here you go!

Ignore that last post, I attached the wrong VI.

How do you edit or delete a post??

[Will.D]

No users can delete posts, and the editing window is only about five minutes after it was posted/last edited.  So you may edit the post up to five minutes after it was first submitted, and if you do edit your post, I believe the timer resets for another five minutes (I *think*)

Hello,

Unfortunately...  The poster was months ahead of the game, and so much so that the NI people dismissed the root cause as an OS problem that only I owned.  The NI help on this subject has been uncharacteristically general, with initial suggestions including the obligatory re-loading of the LabView software, etc...  none of which worked.  I ran out of time, foudn a unique work-aroudn to my unique problem, and I must have come to a sublimiinal understanding of the root cause, since I have been able to avoid it since. 

The poster shoudl be reimbursed for this advanced discovery, or at least given a free personal license of LV 8.0.2 Pro-Dev System....

Has anything come from this?

I'm seeing the error develop again on the same program as last time. This will now be the 2nd time I've had to perform several hours of "workaround".

Please advise.

RWiersma,

Unfortunately the only update I can provide is that the issue is still being investigated by R&D.  It may help as Jeff mentioned to RRRRSSSS to provide a VI front panel that replicates this behavior.

HI,

Was this problem ever fixed? It's causing me a major headache right now. If not what is the best work around - to copy & paste all the VI to a new VI and resave? I get the horrible feeling that the problem will come back again (at the most inconvenient time). I'm thinking maybe I should redesign such that I do not use a tab control, but that won't be easy, especially as the customer has approved the GUI's.

Anyone have any advice for me, other than an expensive upgrade to version 8.2?

Hi Martin,

Currently the best workaround would be to copy and paste the contents of your VI to a new VI.  If you have a single VI that can reproduce that behavior, I'd like to try to replicate the issue and attach it to the bug report for this issue.

We are getting the same problem. NI needs to fix this ASAP as it is killing our new Labview software development. It has rendered our new code useless, splitting the front panal and no scroll bars!!!. About 6 months of work will have to be redone in Labview 7.x to work around this problem. This should be a priority fix for NI, it exists in Windows Professional and vista.

Has this issue been resolved yet?   A VI that I have been developing for four months suddenly started exhibiting this behavior, making it all but unusable.  I can minimize and then maximize the window to restore the corrupted areas of the window, but the corruption happens again almost immediately.  I am also using a tab control with graphs and charts in the tabs.
