hail monks,

i have an odd problem with win32::gui, when i run my application for an extended period of time, the text seems to not fully refresh. For example: in the window a label says, "This is a Test", and then after the program runs for a while and automatically updates the labels, the field will read, "This is a Te" and that's it. Where it is still suppose to read "This is a Test".

i am not sure why this would occur. on my label, i update using the $label->Text("This is a Test") method and i also do $label->Update(); doing the update method made no difference, nor did using the InvalidateRect method. granted i may be using them incorrectly but i dont think so. note: i called the InvalidateRect on the $main_window.

well, i dont know if anyone else has experienced this, but i am hoping for some hints, if you all would like a code example i would be more than happy to provide one.

thanks in advance monks
