Description

When moving a window across the boundary of another window the display hesitates. This happens most of the time but not always. I use SNAP 3.1.8 with a ATI 9250 card on a SMP P4 eCS 2.0 system. The CPU meter does not show a large load when the movement hesitates.

There is no good way to explain this situation so I have used a camcorder to take a shot of the screen. The result is a MPG2 video (112meg) downloadable here:

This issue almost wakes WPS-Wizard unusable on this system.

The work around is to turn off (unselect) "Full Window Dragging". This makes the system completely usable.

It's probably a GFX driver issue. Quite some blitting takes place when painting icons. If the used function is slow in the driver icon updates will show a slowdown.

In a future release there might be some improvement in this area.
