I started looking at the gtk3 branch of xournalpp (it is now in working condition) and it suffers the exact same problem than my code using goocanvas. What is special is that xournalpp does not use any library. it implements rendering directly. So I started digging and so far I think this is the most promising lead: See this and the responses: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-app-devel-list/2015-March/msg00074.html I am still following up with it. Denis, you are a much better expert at the event handling than I am, so your feedback might be valuable. -dmg Bernhard> Bernhard Bernhard> [1] Bernhard> https://mail.gnome.org/archives/goocanvas-list/2013-November/msg00007.html Bernhard> On 2015-03-27 18:14, Denis Auroux wrote: >> As far as I understand, there are still performance issues on larger >> documents, caused by the gtk3 canvas libraries being much less efficient >> than libgnomecanvas.
