Question: is "-wgl" disabled by some of the other Xwin options ?
I was sure all my previous experiments where with "-wgl"
But I see no difference between
"xwin -rootless -nowgl" and "xwin -rootless"

It seems the same defect so it seems related to "-wgl",
at least in multiwindow mode.

Testing with
" xwin -multiwindow "
    the moving defect is present and slide layer are drawn

" xwin -multiwindow -nowgl"
    the moving defect is NOT present but the slide layer are NOT drawn
( same for both "xwin -rootless -nowgl" and "xwin -rootless" )

Do you mean more likely a OpenGL bug of fltk one ?
