Thanks to all of you,
your contributions have helped me fill some gaps in my understanding of QB64's behavior, which I had previously overlooked too casually.
I have always used SCREEN 0 mode because it seems to me the right compromise between colors, backgrounds, and transparencies. I still can't see the advantage of using other modes, but it does seem that some benefits can be obtained with the other modes.
Regarding _DISPLAY, I believe I have finally understood how it works.
I understand that it may seem simple, but from time to time I feel like I observe inconsistent effects, and for this reason, I have always approached _DISPLAY with a certain caution (although, in some cases, it is indispensable for to avoid unwanted flickering).
Regarding the problem I brought to your attention, I discovered — thanks to SMcNeil; it would have taken me many more days to find the problem... — that the error is a mere % instead of & (a typo) in a remote corner of the code. However, the discussion has been very useful because all the other issues suggest certain improvements to the code that I am already implementing.
I noticed that there are many banned users on the list: what on earth did they do? They must have really messed up because it seems truly impossible not to receive collaboration, kindness, and responses from you!
Thanks again!
