  Incident Diagnosis
  VISU : SCREEN GOES BLACK DURING FEW
  SECONDS WHEN SWITCH VISUALISATION TO
  WORKBENCHES
  Restriction Explanation
  Origin of the flash :
  The size of the graphic area is different
  between "Part Design" and "sketcher".
  The user interface must be refreshed.
  The size of the graphic area is different because
  the tool bar "Tools" contains a combo box to select
  the current tool in "Part Design".
  On UNIX, in the user interface, the toolbar with a
  combo is taller.
  The reason of the permanent restriction :
  The position of the tool bars are kept in the setting
  file.
  If we modify the size of the tool bars with a combo,
  all settings files are deprecated.
  The origin of the regression :
  The apparition of a combo in the tool bar "Tools" is
  the origin of the regression.
  By-Pass
  1/ If the viewer isn't maximized in the graphic
  area, the problem doesn't occur.
  2/ If the toolbar "Tools" isn't docked, the problem
  doesn't occur.
  3/ If the tool bar "Graphic Properties" and "Tools"
  are in the same dock bar and in the same row, the
  problem doesn't occur.
