Re: [STUMP] bubble-window.lisp

[David Bjergaard]

Hi Stefan,


Can you clarify the issue? Is it that the message disappears too fast?
As I understand the message function, it will display the text until a
time-out *or* if some other event happens that refreshes the
screen. This means that if you display a message and then raise a
window, the message disappears immediately.

Maybe this will help?

Cheers,

    Dave
