Thanks Larry

The network guys say they are working with Citrix for Windows 2000 not NT 4.0 but they will give it a try.

It is a shame that the Bitmap setting exhibits this behaviour.
Has anyone written code using this setting.

What work arounds are folks using?





>There is a Hot Fix availabel from Citrix that helped with this problem before the BITMAP setting was releases by MS. Check out http://www.citrix.com/support/issues_en.txt. Do you have this version/SP/hot fix installed?

>6. This hotfix contains the code for a more advanced caching technique, which is called SuperCache. This can result in a large improvement in usability and performance over a slow connection or for applications that tend to redisplay a large area of the screen in response to small localized changes. Example applications that will show a large caching improvement over a slow connection are Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) and Visual FoxPro. The improvement in IE can be easily seen by comparing the behavior when using the backward and forward buttons. However, because this is a radical change, the new behavior is not enabled by default.

>When SuperCache is enabled, large bitmaps are displayed in a number of columns in left to right order, instead of top to bottom order. This is readily apparent when running a client over a slow line. If this characteristic behavior is not observed, the SuperCache functionality has not been activated.
>
>To enable SuperCache, you need to run the following command at a command prompt at each server on which you want to have SuperCache functionality:

>Keysync ICAThinwireFlags /Enable:2
>
>If you want to disable SuperCache functionality, run the following command at a command prompt at each server on which you want to disable the SuperCache functionality:
>
>Keysync ICAThinwireFlags /Disable:2

>NOTE: The server must be rebooted in order for either change to take effect.
