"Redraws will be flushed" translation

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi,

I think that's the point: "none that were visible to the user". Redrawing was quick enough to give you the impression that all was redrawn at once, but it wasn't. You may have noticed that sometimes a script was faster without locking and unlocking the screen, because Revolution refreshed the entire screen for each control that was added or removed. By doing this quickly after another, it looked like the screen was redrawn only once but in reality it was redrawn several times. This should no longer be the case and your scripts should run faster now. If you want to know for sure, ask the RunRev team. I'd like to know if I'm wrong.
