Hello, a tricky one... purely at the GUI level.

I was rendering i_internal.pov (a bit long at 800x600 with AA 0.01), and 
click the cross to close the rendering window. From that, the icon in the 
main window to show/hide the window remains a grey-shadow... and no way 
to re-open the rendering window without exiting povray (and restarting).

This was with the povray beta29 for 32bit windows, on Pentium4, Windows 
XP; binary as provided by website.

Have a nice day.

I couldn't replicate this when I tried; if you do manage to find a way to make
it happen reliably I'd be keen to track the cause down.

worked ok fine for me .... XPSP2

I even closed the preview window more than several times during the render 
and used right click in messages pane to redisplay the preview pane each 
time.

sorry can't duplicate.

  I wonder if this has anything to do with multithreading. Often bugs
related to multithreading (and multiprocessing) are erratic and very hard
to repeat reliably.

Ok... let's just say for the time being, and until another complaint, 
that I was unable to distinguish the Hide/Show icon from the Ini-grey-
shaded icon...

I'm also unable to reproduce the reported issue now, so may be "it was 
just me".
