[pygame] erratic behavior with 'display.update(Rect)'



Greetings!

I am seeing what seems to be erratic behavior with 'display.update()'
when used with a Rect argument. In all cases but one, it works fine
with 'display.update(<name of Rect object>)'. In the exception case,
it has no effect on the referenced Rect area.

MY QUESTIONS

Is it possible that the cause is that OPENGL is being used by pygame?
The doc' mentions that 'display.update()' generates an exception when
used with OPENGL. I'm wondering whether instead of generating an
exception, it's being unstable.

If display.update()' doesn't work with OPENGL, what do you use to
update just one area of the display?

I'm using Debian Stable out of the box.

Regards,

Tom Arnall
