i don't know what to call this bug, but when i am in med, sed, or even wed, and i am in them for a while then my computer will start showing things from other programs in the engine's programs...like a refresh issue, if you don't know what i'm talking about ask and i will post a screenshot

this happens regulary, i think it is fixable, but it isn't genarally big thing. But, sed? this have never happened for me

Depending of the 3D card you're using, it's possible that DirectX windows of WED and MED are not updated when the programs were minimized.

a crappy one, a allinwander radeon, oldskool

and my computer and directx are up to date (directx 9.0c)

It does it on my Geforce Fx5200 card as well. Not in SED though.

yea i get the same issue from time to time with my raedon 9550. Ussally only when i have alot of stuff running at the same time tho.

Radeon 9800 Pro, have similiar issues. Also in studio max and lots of other apps. when the card and cpu are busy, refresh of views are unpredictable.

Part and parcel of working in 3D I think

Only happens to me in MED. When it happens, I just grab the center divider and
move it as if to resize the views a bit, and the views refresh.

Yes or minimize maximise the window will return it aslo.

I wonder if this is a Dx thing?
