Thank you Tony, I can't confirm it right now, but this must certainly
be the mistake we are looking for.

>>> field.remove(foo) will definitely remove foo from the field, and the Field Portrayal will definitely stop calling draw() on its corresponding SimplePortrayal.  So if you're having a problem at this point either there's a bug in your code or a bug in ours.  To determine this, I will need you to send me (directly) a tarball containing an ideally simple example of the bug happening, including source code, so we can poke around.

Or you have the object being added to the field somehow or it's part of some other field which is being drawn.
