Hello fellow lispers, while playing with LISP-PANE gadget, I noticed that the highlighting color was not set properly in many cases to mark the selected item, resulting in an invisible item (the selected item text itself being written in white on white). After some investigation, I found the code for HANDLE-REPAINT method of GENERIC-LIST-PANE (in .....\mcclim-20190107-git\Core\clim-core\gadgets.lisp) was correct, but "misinterpreted" by the SBCL compiler, as it was working properly only with (debug 3) option... It is the MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND form setting background/foreground inks that seems to suffer bad optimisation or whatever and does not work all the time !? I'll submit this to SBCL as it is not a McClim bug... but in the meantime, replacing the HANDLE-REPAINT method of GENERIC-LIST-PANE by the proposed code below seems to works fine. It does exactly the same thing without using multiple values. Best regards and thank you for reviving CLIM, it reminds me of the good ol' days on my Symbolics 3645.
