I've been having a problem the last few contests where the color 
(Worked/Unworked) is not correct 
in the Bandmap window for several seconds after entering a call and 
dupe-checking it (or working it).

Also, as the Bandmap scrolls, the colors change back and then several seconds 
later correct themselves.
This is very annoying when hunting for new unworked stations, and confusing 
since my brain is thinking 
"Huh? I thought I worked him?"

N7MH also reported this problem in the message "Bandmap colors are not updated 
for other spots ..."

I'm using Writelog Version 10.88B. I think this change was introduced in 10.85 
May, 2011 because the Revision 
History-Version 10 says: "* Optimize the dupe/multiplier checking for both 
bandmap and packet."

Can we please have at least the station we just worked immediately change 
color! 

Also the color changing as the bandmap is scrolled is a big problem as I scan 
for unworked stations. 

Please contact me if you have any questions about this problem, or solutions to 
having it work promptly.
