I am a long time user of r-drive image version 4. I just started using version 5 and have noticed a minor but very annoying bug in the TUI (Text User Interface) during a restore: The status line flashes needlessly. It appears that the programmer wrote the code to refresh the status line in a fast loop with no logic to wait for a character change before re-displaying. This should be really easy to fix. The flickering/flashing of the status line (percent and pseudo bar-graph) puts a blemish on an otherwise polished product that I use on nearly 100 machines in my enterpise.
Looking forward to the next build with the bug fixed.
Thanks,
Dave G.

Thank you for the response. I've passed the problem to our developers.

I made a mistake in my description of the problem. The problem is with the text mode progress bar that is displayed during a scripted backup launched from Windows. I am very sorry for this error in my original post. I tried to upload a file with this post that has a screen capture of the problem but your system gives me an error: "Could not upload attachment to ./files/2773_8748033b54af68748033b54af6c98f6eb88e0ee36957f." If you need the file I can send it via an email address you provide. Thank you for your support.
