VX's Window_Command bug - PK8 - 09-08-2012

A few years ago, I was working on my first ever menu script (which I never ever released), I came across a bug with VX's Window_Command window. I was setting up a window that had its column_max set to 1 and its row_max (the window would allow scrolling if my menu had more choices than I specified) set to 6.

I took this from an old YouTube video of mine. The text for the choices after number 6 weren't drawn.

The problem stemmed from the refresh method of the Window_Command class. Here's how the code looked:

Code:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Refresh

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def refresh

    self.contents.clear

    for i in 0...@item_max

      draw_item(i)

    end

  end

I added create_contents in a new line in between self.contents.clear and for i in 0...@item_max. The refresh method should look like this:

Code:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Refresh

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def refresh

    self.contents.clear

    create_contents

    for i in 0...@item_max

      draw_item(i)

    end

  end

And it fixed my problem:
