I'm working on an editor which has a strip of 9 check boxes near the top of the display.

Whenever another window is opened over the top, the first two checkboxes always disappear.

Is this a known issue and, if so, is there a way around it (even if it involves refreshing the check boxes every frame?).

Cheers in advance :)

no idea on if its a known issue, might help if u post the relevent code

If you have a panel or some other gadget which covers the same area, then you should make the checkboxes children of that gadget. Otherwise the draw order is not guaranteed.

sswift may be on to the right track. You could try coloring all of your panels different colors in order to help solve if what sswift stated is the case...

Also make sure your checkboxes are not like, wider than they really are. Cause that might cause it too. Same for everything else. Some things you can tell them to be bigger than they should be but they will still look a normal size.

That's excellent, sswift, thank you :)
