SYMPTOMS
========

You may be unable to see Multiple Document Interface (MDI) window frames while
you are resizing child windows.

CAUSE
=====

Normally, when you resize a child window, the new window size is indicated by a
light gray outline.

In True Color modes, the color used for the child window outline is
indistinguishable from the default window background color.

RESOLUTION
==========

To make MDI window frames visible while you are dragging the window, use one of
the following methods:

- Change the window background to a different color

- Change the display to use fewer colors.
