Yup, that's exactly the problem. :-)
Glad you got that one out. :-)
I think you realized why messages are sent for top_view only. :-)
However, I simply forgot to take into account that GoRedraw() may be
called with an usual Layer.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I will fix in no time.

Well, maybe you're right.
fVisible - is the actual visible region of a layer
fFullVisible - is the visible region of a layer + all the visible regions
of all layers that it contains (the whole tree).
fFull - is the region equal to layer's bounds + client specified clipping
regions BView::ConstrainClippingRegion(). (this how the Layer's
visible region would look like if it would be completely visible
and have no children)
fVisible + fFullVisible == fFull if the Layer is entirely visible.

Nice.

I must finish my work on window manager. In big tasks, all I have
left is to implement BWindow::SetFeel() and solve a bug relating to
B_MODAL_APP windows. Talking about small tasks, I have to implement support
for all BWindow::Flags(), window allignment, etc. :-) But those are not
urgent issues.
bye,
Adi.
