Two Faults of DVI Viewer

Post by TomK »

The DVI viewer of v6 beta, dated 4 Jan 2008, exhibits two unpleasant
faults:

---Magnification Tool: a black rectangle shows up first, then the
underlying text is displayed; thereafter, a click on another part of screen
momentarily produces two black rectangles, the previous one and the new one.

---Selection Tool: dragging draws a blank borderless rectangle and the
whole screen is extremely jittery; the display only settles down when
dragging is stopped, and then the rectangle's dashed border
and contents appear.

Same on two machines (one with on-board Intel graphics, the other with
Matrox Millennium G450 card).

Both tools work properly in v6 beta of 18 Oct 2007, and earlier.

These were some side effects of trying to improve the text quality. Should be OK in the next beta release.
