`request_anim_frame()` prevents redrawing in multi-window

[MicroCBer]

I have a custom widget that has an animation. After opening two windows with it inside, I found only the focused one was redrawn. The other ones won't redraw even if there's a data change. After deleting request_anim_frame(), it would redraw if there's a data change, but as a result, it's impossible for me to update my animation. Why would this happen? Is multi-window simply just doesn't supports animation or are there any options for me to enable it?

Also when I resize one of the windows, all of the other windows redraw... I really cannot figure out why...

[MicroCBer]

this is message log of these two windows when I resized one of them

Are you using 0.7.0 or master?

[MicroCBer]

master, iirc

I confirmed this as a bug by combining the anim and multiwin examples.

I tested this on Linux. This version of the anim.rs example works fine on Linux. In all windows the animation can draw in parralel.

//! An example of an animating widget. It is just a widget that
//! requests an animation frame when it needs to, and draws the frame in the
//! `paint` method.
//! Once the animation is over it simply stops requesting animation frames.
//! Usually we would put the state in the `Data`, but for things like animation
//! we don't. This is because the animation state is not useful to know for the
//! rest of the app. If this is something the rest of your widgets should know
//! about, you could put it in the `data`.

// On Windows platform, don't show a console when opening the app.
