Nothing on this box has changed for 4 years or more :)
At one point it was running slackware 4 (just about everything has
been upgraded)
No window manager
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.7
Current Operating System: Linux 2.6.23.17 #2 SMP PREEMPT
Now that I have been watching it more closely, it hasn't been doing
it. I do remember doing it in the last 1.9.3 snapshot, but didn't pay
much mind to it, as it would fix itself. What I remember it doing then
was, sometimes it would just scroll the callsigns like nuts on the
bottomleft.
I have it configured to read from the linux ax25 interface directly,
and have a kiss tnc connected to my serial port feeding that
interface. I also have several other programs bound to that same linux
ax25 interface. I am also streaming the aprs-is stream for north
america. Callsign, K3PDK-1 (maryland, usa)

I am having the strangest thing going on since I upgraded to 1.9.4,

If I haven't moved the mouse for a few hours, xastir screen won't
update, people won't move, nothing happens. As soon as I move the
mouse, the callsigns at the bottom left go completely nuts as it
scrolls through thousands of packets, and the All-Message-Traffic
window will just scroll messages quickly.
I fail to believe this is an X setting, as I have turned off all
screen saver type features long ago. I am also running a satellite
tracking program, and it updates fine.
It seems to happen after 3 or so hours, not sure exactly how long though.
1.9.4 is a re-branded 1.9.3. That's what we do when we think the
sources have been reasonably stable and it's been a while since the
last release.
Since you were running 1.9.3 you were either running CVS or one of
the development snapshots. If CVS then it might be hard to pin down
exactly which code you were running. If a devel snapshot you may
still have it around and can switch back to it in order to test.
If possible, switch back to the version you were running before and
give it a test under the exact same conditions to see if it does it
as well.
I haven't seen such operation, but my conditions may be drastically
different than yours. I'm in a hot APRS area and have a TNC on the
air, plus a filtered feed off Firenet up and running.
Have you changed OS, OS version, or Window Manager lately? Window
manager settings?
What OS and version are you running, and what window manager?
