Hi, Luke.

I think this bug has nothing to do with the file system. It is a bug in the 
Gambas source code editor that is present since the early beginning of 
Gambas!

The Gambas source code editor is based on Qt 2.0 editor widget source code, 
which has many bugs. And I didn't wan't to fix them, because I will rewrite 
it in the future by using the QT 3.0 editor widget source code - which is 
completely new. Maybe Trolltech found the old one buggy too :-)

You are the first people that noticed this drawing bug ! Or the other are more 
conciliatory ;-)

Note: there are similar drawing bugs in the TreeView. Sometimes, it is not 
correctly redrawn...
