This report comes up from time to time, but with no satisfactory
explanation.  Although I've never seen the problem directly,
I'd love to see it tracked-n-whacked" once and for all.

Does iconising and restoring the DDD window help at those
times when you can't see the "->"?  This will send an expose
event to every window, so if it helps, then it's a problem
with the way that DDD sends X information.  (Just a thought.)

Try following the trace in another window; does anything different
happen at those times when the glyph isn't visible?

Can you provide some details of your platform?

Andrew.
