[WriteLog] Bandmap colors are not updating promptly

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 ..."
<http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/WriteLog/2011-11/msg00013.html>

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.
