Hi Bill. It seems that you misunderstood me. I only singled out
Logic in the first paragraph because Apple develops it. I should have
mentioned AULab, too. But you'll note in the second paragraph that I
encouraged *all* host app developers to help by reporting any
instances of these problems to the specific AU developers, at least
where contact information is available.
I don't have any issue with your asking AU developers to look out for
this problem and fix it, I merely suggested that host app developers
who note the problem should point it out to the specific AU developer,
because they may not have noticed, and may not even have certain host
apps or configurations.

Why do you assume this is Logic? This is causing a number of
problems with *different* and *more than one* host app.

Thanks for the reminder. However, wouldn't it be great if the
Logic team also sent specific notices to vendors with violating
AUs? I suppose that could be rather limited, since reliable
contact information is not available for every AU, and the list
would not be complete. At the very least, I hope the Logic team
passes on bug reports whenever possible.
Another way to look at the situation is this: If you're reading
this on the CoreAudio Mailing List, and you are a host application
developer, then please pass on any bug reports from offending AUs
that cause the problems Bill is referring to. That would help - at
least somewhat - in stamping out this crusty code.

Some time ago we described an intention to have those audio units
that provide carbon views to support the composited windowing mode
(HIView) that Carbon supports. We also added a checkbox in AULab
that would enable developers to make AULab use compositing carbon
windows for the audio unit views.
We've seen many au fix problems with compositing windows since
that time - so thanks for that effort. However, there are still
some audio unit's views that are not compatible with compositing
windows. This is affecting some host applications as the move in
general is toward this style of windowing, but if the AU view
doesn't support it, serious drawing and UI control problems arise.
So, this is a reminder to everyone to please look at all of their
audio unit views and make sure that they work with compositing
windows. AULab has compositing enabled by default, so it could be
as simple as running your audio units in AULab (just check to make
sure that compositing is turned on).
Thanks
Bill
