Why would window resize not repaint properly?   

I open a modeless window in jscript like this.

m_objWindow = window.showModelessDialog

Later, I programmatically resize the window with dialogWidth and dialogHeight.

m_objWindow.dialogWidth = "0px";
m_objWindow.dialogHeight = "0px";

Later, I programattically resize the window again.

m_objWindow.dialogWidth = "1024px";
m_objWindow.dialogHeight = "768px";

After the final resize the top portion of the dialog, which contains an 
iframe, shows properly, but the bottom portion of the dialog, which has an 
ActiveX control, does not display.  Not just the control is missing, I can 
not even see the frame around IE.  Under certain circumstances, if I click 
enough buttons on the visible part, the bottom part will become visible.  
Also, this only happens on about 50% of the machines tested.  The rest of the 
machines display properly, and I can not tell any difference in the 
configuration of these PC's.  What would cause a modeless IE window to just 
not appear from doing a resize?
