Hi, One thing that's been annoying me a bit about recent ParaView (3.8 and git head) on OS X 10.6.4, Qt-4.6.3 (x86-64) is that when I'm playing animations with somewhat heavy datasets (around > 1 million cells in structured / unstructured grids), it overruns 5 - 6 steps until it stops playing when the Pause button on the VCR toolbar was hit.
I vaguely remember this annoyance started with transition of Qt version to either 4.5 or 4.6 (I believe it was fine at least until Qt 4.3 / PV 3.6). Also, if I add 5 - 6 processEvents() calls in pqVCRController::onTick() as attached below (kind of silly though), the GUI becomes back responsive. Is it only me who is having this problem? Any thoughts?
