Re: Staggered Cursor Movement in RDi V9

[Stuart Rowe <rowestu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

I just noticed this behaviour as well.  I have a RocketSled PC with 96 TB
of physical ram (ha) and WinXP.  Really, it is plenty juicy.  Decent video
card as well.

It is very annoying, as when I am using the arrows I watch the ruler at the
top to see where I am on the line.  Well, used to.  It is bad with the
arrow keys, is it far worse with the spacebar.

The symptoms described in the OP did not happen in 8.5.1 with any
regularity (until you got to the 1024MB storage threshold, but then
everything went bad).  In fact, I can run them side-by-side and V9 does it
and 8.5.1 does not.  I'll add that the duplicate cursor in the ruler area
at t he top also disappears.

I have also noticed that just using the arrow key to go up one page (from
bottom to top of one page without scrolling it) blinks the whole page as it
redraws the text on every keystroke.  It's sort of psychedelic as the lines
ripple and shimmer with white space streaking though them.  Again, 8.5.1
did not ever do this and still does not today.

Perhaps the live parsing in V9 took a hit and now affects the display.
Parsing on every keystroke (per Edmund) might be a bit much, and that's
probably where the issue lies.  Anyway, it sounds like an issue to be
investigated.  A poor solution would be to have to disable the "more
timely" outline mode as that is easily 30% of the benefit of RDi.  IMO.
