Which I assume means that you have 'About to be shown' set in the dialogue
flags.

Which I assume means that you have 'When hidden' set in the dialogue
flags.

I /assume/ from the fact that you've got the completed event that you
clicked with Select, not adjust.

I'm making too many assumptions here to draw any real conclusions - you
should either describe exactly what you have or put the Res file up
somewhere so that it can be looked at with exactly what you have.

However, I've managed to reproduce it here, so it looks like a bug -

Example file to be used with ResTest with the above instructions can be
found at :

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/justin.fletcher/Usenet/Toolbox/ColourDBox/

(I've rationalised a little bit of my site, so if you've referred to
things in the root of that area then they'll now be in 'Usenet' instead.
Not that there's much, but the CGuide is probably useful to someone).
