McCarron's Piece O' Mind

Since iTunes 5.0 (and 5.0.1.4) has come out, I keep getting this strange redraw bug at work. My work computer runs Windows 2000 Workstation, but I haven't used my iTunes at home on XP enough to see the problem exists there. Whenever the I return to iTunes window, all the song display info is overlaid over and over again since the last time I saw the window. It doesn't get redrawn properly until the next song is played or I resize the window.


Click here for an example.

This happens if the window is completely hidden behind another window and the song changes, either manually or triggered from the system tray or widget. If a small corner of the window is visible from behind other open windows, then it doesn't happen. It also wont happen when minimized to the task bar or system tray.

I hope Apple can get this fixed by the next version. I haven't heard of anyone else with this problem, and couldn't find similar reports on the Apple Support site for. And it is the type of bug that could frustrate the average user. It doesn't appear to effect all users either, a coworker could not duplicate it on his machine.
