Screen failing to redraw

I'm noticing, from time to time, that the image is failing to redraw after making a change (eg resizing a round rectangle). It's resolved by quitting the application then restarting

I haven't seen this but I will keep an eye out for it. Some changes have been made to that area of the code so let us know if you still see the problem in the next release.
I've just posted 1.0.6 beta 2 of ScreenSteps at:
<http://www.bluemangolearning.com/download/screensteps/1_0/beta/ScreenSteps.dmg>
This is a minor release that coincides with the first official release of the Windows version. It contains fixes to the issues you discovered as well as a new screencapture tool which let's you select the region to capture rather than capturing the entire screen.
Thanks. I'm just trying it now.
I notice you've also fixed the "Save as" feature, as well as you now show the file name at the top center of the screen. On that note, I just did a "save as" and successfully created the new folder/files. However, the name of the file on the screen is still the old file. Is that the one I would still be editing? On Macs the standard is to change the file being edited to the newly named file, after a "save as".
I'm not sure where the leak is, but I'm using the 1.06 beta and some features have stopped working after a little while (1/2 hour or so)
1) Using the Mac's screen grab (cmd-ctl-shft-4), it has stopped pasting the result into a step
2) the move up/down stopped working
Quitting and reopening the file solves the problem.
BTW - the beta expires 4/16. Hopefully, 1.05 will still work? Or you'll have a replacment by then?
Thanks for the report. I'll look into it. 1.0.5 will still work fine but 1.0.6 should be final by 4/16.
Regarding Save As - just a bug in the beta. You are actually editing the new file. I will fix it.
Thanks Trevor. Regarding Save as", it's working fine in 1.06 :-)
And I haven't yet come across the other bugs so maybe they're gone too. I'll let you know if it happens again.
I'm still having minor trouble from time to time with screen draw that gets resolved when I quit then restart.
I've now had it happen twice today. In one case, I had an image in a step that I wanted to delete. When I tried to do that (ctl click), I was given the choice to "select an image", as though there were no image in that step (despite it being ther, before my very eyes ;-)
Quitting and restarting cleared it up - the newly reopened document showed no image in that step.
On a separate occasion today, I annotated a picture, but it didn't show on screen. Quitting and restarting cleaned it up.
I'm using V1.06 on a Mac Dual 2 GHz G5 with OS 10.4.9
