[DXBase] Cluster refresh problem

Oops, forgot to add this to the previous message.
I have a problem with the Internet Cluster interface. As new spots are 
received, the display's output fails to refresh, even though everything's 
moved a line. It's a little complicated to explain, but here's what I mean.
Let's say the last line displayed in line number 25 and it shows a spot for 
R1A on 21.295. Now, a new spot comes in for CT9L on 14.200. The display 
still shows line 25 as R1A on 21.295, but if you click the green check "QSY 
icon," the radio will go to 14.200. The display may or may not refresh. The 
only sure-fire way to refresh the display that I have found is to focus on 
that pane, then slide the scroll bar up and down a few times. It then 
returns to normal and works OK so long as the cluster pane is highlighted. 
Now highlight any other pane, and it'll stay OK for a few more spots, but 
eventually it will get confused again.
I can't force it to repeat this behaviour, but it happens regularly enough 
to be annoying. I even noticed that once when I had a line's contents 
highlighted (a comment), I minimized DX Base and the highlighted line 
remained on my desktop! Maybe this is a graphics card problem, but since it 
only happens in this pane, I somehow doubt it.
Anybody else notice this? Using an AGP ATI All In Wonder 128 card from 
about a year ago.
