I believe I have found a bug in PB 2021 build 1506 and PB 2022 build 1892.  The issue does not exist in PB 2019. I plan on reporting this.

I have an invisible datawindow on a window.   I print it using the the following code:

long job
job = PrintOpen( )
PrintDataWindow(job, dw_crf_list)
PrintClose(job)
return

In PB 2019 the datawindow remains invisible after the code runs whereas in PB 2021 and later the datawindow becomes visible after the PrintDatawindow call.  I  am pretty sure this is a bug, not new expected behaviour.

Has anyone else come across this?

Really does sound like a bug :)

Yes, it has been confirmed as a bug - it may only be present when themes are turned on and apparently if your datawindow has a title (which ours never do) it may not occur.

I just don't know how stuff keeps breaking by introducing new features, unless THAT's the new feature :)

Thanks!

Apparently, it only affects you if you are using the themes...
