Screen refresh
After a screen refresh, lines and boxes that overlap may not display or print in the
"front to back" order in which they were drawn. For example, a shaded box drawn
on top of an existing line may display with the line on top of the box after a screen

borders, connect individual lines to the border of the box instead of drawing the
box on top of a line that extends beneath and beyond its borders.
