When zooming, refreshing the screen is not do while the mouse is moving: whenever it moves a pixel. I think Alex's idea of only drawing the contents of the block when the number of items is beneath some compiled-in threshold, 20, 100, 1000?, is a great idea. --brian _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
