I know about the redraw, but this isn't the issue (actually we were
working with vectors where this is not a problem). Even a redraw does not
change the display.

All of this has no effect. As mentioned, I have to save the workspace
file, close the workspace and reload the workspace to get correct display.

This has just bitten me again, but still not way of predicting when this
might happen...
