 I have noticed on several PCs, two running Vista and neo running XP, using AWM 5.4, there is a problem with windows being drawn completely.  If I open a window (does not seem to matter which application), the outer frame of the window is drawn, but most of the interior area of the window is not.  However, moving the mouse cursor around in this area causes individual objects to be drawn.  If you minimize and then restore the window, sometimes it is drawn completely, somtimes it is not.

Using the AWM 5.4 context menu for the icon in the system tray, I can select "Stop" and the problem goes away.  When AWM is reenabled with "Start", the problem returns.

Is it possible the new logic to intercept the window before it is drawn to avoid flicker could cause this?

I may need to downgrade to AWM 5.3.  :-(

 I can confirm that this problem is NOT fixed in Beta 4, on Windows 7 x64.
