Hi,
I purchased LimeWire 2.3.1 Pro. It works fine, but has a strange way of messing up my screen (desktop). When I have LimeWire Pro open on the desktop and move windows from other programs around over the LimeWire window, both the LimeWire window and the program window gets "messed up". Whenever I stop moving the window a "stamp" of it is left on the LimeWire window in the background, and I loose the window bar on the program I am moving also. If I bring LimeWire to the front the mess is gone, but it is annoying having to minimoze LimeWrie all the time to avoid this problem. The way it is now it isn't possible to have LimeWire running on the desktop at all unless it's the only program there.
See attached screenshot (if the fileupload went well..)
I am running OS X 10.1 on an iBook.
Ideas?:

I have only had that happen once.

Happens to me consistently!

It happens all the time to me. All applications moved over a LimeWire window causes this mess.

Is there a fix? Is it a known issue? This only happens when Limewire is open. It does not happen when it's miminized.

This may be an issue with Java apps, probably ones developed in certain ways. It only occurs when interface items are placed over a part of the Limewire window.

If this happens to you, try option-clicking out of Limewire to hide it (or, of course, choose Hide Limewire from the Limewire menu, or type command-H). This should remove the redraw problem, as there's temporarily no Java-generated user interface to be drawn, interfering with other UI drawing.

I think. ;-)
