I’m using a home-compiled installation of the development version of Panda, as taken from the repository (updated a little over an hour before time of writing, I believe), and I’ve encountered an issue: simply put, it seems that DirectScrolledFrames, when holding and displaying a DirectButton, cause other GUI elements to disappear–which
I don’t think that I’ve experimented with controls other than DirectButton in the frame, so it may well be more general than this report indicates.
It looks almost as though the DirectScrolledFrames have their occlusion inverted: showing overlapping items, but hiding those outside of themselves.
The following code is a small test-case that displays the error on my end. Press either of the two buttons to toggle two respective DirectScrolledFrames, one containing a button and one without; you should see that the frame controlled by the left-hand button contains a button and produces the bug, while the frame controlled by the right-hand button is empty and does not produce the bug.
