It's like the redraw events trigger faster than they can actually complete themselves, so they pile up and everything grinds to a halt until they finish processing. It's actually quite harmless to the current image, just very annoying to see happen. Workaround: Limit how often you use Spacebar to pan the image (e.g, pan via mousewheel and/or scrollbars); and when you do, be careful about how fast you move your cursor (to prevent the redraws from logjamming). -- Stratadrake strata_ranger hotmail com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. |
