Thanks Michael and jmp for your explanations...
I just fired up my (simple) rg and noticed this, I'm in the middle of a
long project to be finished tomorrow (actually finishing off the boring
presentation thing right now), but thought I'd write to give a heads up,
will happily give some feedback and debug support if needed from next
week. At a quick look it seems the problem is also there if you are
playing back, so maybe it's something more trivial like jpm suggests.
Thanks again for the quick replies
Lorenzo.
