Are you doing something like this?

_screen.addobject("mycontainer","container")
_screen.mycontainer.backcolor = 255
_screen.mycontainer.left = 255
_screen.mycontainer.top = 300
_screen.mycontainer.visible = .t.

I'm able to run forms on top of this without any flickering or flashing of the container. I'm able to move forms around on top of it, and resize forms on top of it. I compiled it into a simple .exe and got the same results.

Does it seem to be worse on slower computers?
