- This is documented. The author says it is a palette manager bug. It makes
- sense as setting the SAVEBITS (sp?) option for the menus should make the
- redraw automatic by PM. Thus any problems are most likely to be PM. An
- alternative would be to leave that setting off the menus and thus a
- WM_PAINT would be generated for the areas concerned and the GIF viewer
- could handle the palette.
