There are several questions to ask:
Are you sure that the Free object handler is being called?
Are you sure that the coordinates you're using are correct and within
the area of the Form and/or Free object?
If you are setting clipping, are you sure that the clipping bounds are
correct?
Are you clearing the Free object before you begin the refresh or
drawing?
Do other objects get properly updated or respond when clicked or
actuated by the user?
Are you returning control to the XForms main loop after you draw? If
you don't then the draw commands may be buffered and not sent to the
server. You can also periodically call fl_check_forms() if you have a
long running loop that would otherwise "hang" the application's user
interface.
