Hi,

after further investigation it looks like the problem is that the mouse
is grabbed by the toggle button when I click, but never released as the
toggled button is disabled and fails to receive the release event. Is
this a bug in the toggle ? Can this be corrected somehow by my program ?

What makes me believe this is that the window is redrawn when I resize
it and close event is handled normaly. I even get the cross mouse when I
move the mouse over the active part of the separator of the panned. But
nothing else (like prelight, click, ....).

Any help would be much appreciated.

TIA,

Ionutz
