QuickDraw view bug?

[Dad]

I have a customized QuickDraw view in my nib-based Obj-C Project. It
is a background image that covers the entire main window.
Intermittently only a small rectangle of the overall image is drawn, as
if it is clipped or something. What is drawn is drawn correctly, but
the rest of the window's image is never drawn. Forcing updates doesn't
correct the problem, but quitting and relaunching often does. It
appears to be memory related, because doing something different often
restores the full image.

I have a window that is drawn initially then removed before the main
window is displayed, but it's position and size don't correspond to the
portion being displayed, only being similar in size.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the suggestions.

I was already hard-coding the rectangle to draw. Intermittently it
works fine, but a subsequent quit and relaunch may draw incorrectly.
The incorrect location and size is consistent each time it fails to
draw correctly.

I am using the source from one of Apple's sample which is a subclass of
QuickDrawView, so I believe it is subclassed to NSView through that.

I am not manually calling the drawRect routine anywhere, although it
certainly looks to me like somehow the active port is wrong or a
clipping region hasn't been properly set. Note that other objects on
top of this picture draw correctly at all times.

Any more suggestions?

Thanks,
