Thanks for your code snipet. This is indeed a bug introduced
in V0.86. To workaround this, you will have to unfortunately
use an undocumented internal function fl_hide_composite(browser)
after adding the lines to the hidden browser. The prototype
for fl_hide_composite is void fl_hide_composite(FL_OBJECT *)

This bug is now fixed and will be in the next release.
