    # To subscribers of the xforms list from "Vincent A. Magnotta" <vincent-magnotta@uiowa.edu> :

    This bug seems to manifest itself primarily when there is an incremental
    update of the form while it is being resized. If this option is turned
    off in the window manager and the form is only told to redisplay when
    the resize is complete then the form updates correctly. This seems to
    support the speed issue seen by Jason.
