All right. Based on your and Jean-Pierre's comments it seems that the sole use of and idea behind the block operations is to move (or copy or flip or whatever) the entire board and nothing else. I'm mostly using it to move smaller groups of footprints/tracks/... around, and very often it would be nice to see where the items are going. Maybe show items/rectangle only could be an option (in the block item dialog or somewhere else). Anyways, if it takes several minutes to redraw your board, how do you cope with zooming or anything else that refreshes the the whole screen?
