Display Not Redrawing Correctly

Text and images are overlaying each other when new windows are open. This means that the text is unreadable on the tabs. The problem appears to be with the transparency layers in the program (but not being a coder I don't know how to fix this!). -------- The only serious issue with this application is screen re-draw. The good news is that there is a simple and complete work-around as of CrossOver 6. The work-around is to click in the "Index of Individuals" icon (or hit the F2 key): this now forces a full-screen redraw and everything looks right. Here's an example of the problem: The "Family Page" "cue cards" show the detail about individuals in the database. Opening the app and a database was fine, but then choosing any of the reports and returning to the Family Page resulted in the text not being re-drawn. So, with two extra keystrokes (F2, then ESC) after coming back from a report, all is well. Not every screen requires a manual forcing of re-drawing: flipping from card to card (person to person), for example, works fine.
