The problem is that merely calling show() on a widget (in this case,
the horizontal frame "yesWindow") doesn't mark the parent window's
layout as dirty, and so it doesn't know that it needs to repaint its
contents. The easiest way to fix this is to just add a call to
recalc() after the call to show(), e.g.
hearButton.connect(SEL_COMMAND) do
yesWindow.show
yesWindow.recalc
end
This topic is discussed in detail in Chapter 7 of the FXRuby book.
Hope this helps,
