I thought the "bug" in the title may focus the mods' attention, because most other threads mostly pass them by

The canvas displays before it's assigned to app.body, but not covering the whole screen. When I create another "legitimate" canvas (assigned to app.body) it's obscured by the old one. The unassigned canvas doesn't dissapear even when I return to python shell.

Besides, am I allowed to have many canvas instances ? The docs isn't clear on that. For now something like this does the trick:

import appuifw as a

#an object with it's own canvas
class myObject:

  def __init__(self):
    self.canvas = a.Canvas()
    cached_body = a.app.body  #\
    a.app.body = self.canvas  #- needed (shouldn't be?)
    a.app.body = cached_body  #/

  def show(self):
    a.app.body = self.canvas

I've also noticed that whenever I created canvas, it almost immediately trickered redraw_callback. That's why I create body first, then canvas. Maybe you should do same

Btw thanx for the tip about "unassigned canvas" description! I think this might have happened, when I experimented with built-in debugging! Have to check this evening!

This might be a good time to download pys60 source code...
