[REBOL] Re: Clear area

Neither of your methods work consistantly for me. If I enter lots of
text I'm sometimes left with a line of garbage text at the top, like
Jim was complaining about.
Ah - just remembered something. This from the View docs...
line-list: A BLOCK that is used to track the offsets of text lines
when text is being displayed. When more than 200 characters of text
are being displayed, this list should be set to NONE when large
changes are made to the text. This allows REBOL to recalculate the
locations of all TEXT lines.
So, adding a...
my-area/line-list: none
after you clear your text and before you show it would seem to be the
cure.
