Scroll starts to bump/flicker
Re: Scroll starts to bump/flicker
Why isn't the scrolling routine in its own thread? That should solve it.

This actually makes perfect sense to me. THANKS BARRYG.BarryG wrote:Why isn't the scrolling routine in its own thread? That should solve it.
I will amend my code and report in whether that has improved the flickering.
- There is usually a lot of "try this, maybe do that" but ONLY an example that one can test for themself and get an immediate result actually brings people forward.
Re: Scroll starts to bump/flicker
Some please correct me if I’m wrong, but I think a scrolling routine can never be in a thread.
The bump/flickering could well be a driver issue. At least I don’t see it here - perfectly smooth, and my laptop is pretty average

Please elaborate reasons as to why you believe that is the case!fluent wrote:Some please correct me if I’m wrong, but I think a scrolling routine can never be in a thread.

Re: Scroll starts to bump/flicker
I don't see any bump/flickering either before, during or after the tooltip is displayed on by desktop.fluent wrote:The bump/flickering could well be a driver issue. At least I don’t see it here - perfectly smooth, and my laptop is pretty average
I have Intel(R) Core(TM i7-8700K CUP @ 3.70GHz with 16GB RAM running Windows 10 64 bit with a display of NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 being used with a 60.020 Hz refresh rate.
My guess is that the issues are related to the refresh rate. Certain refresh rates by not match up well with the timing of changes in the scrolled image. That is to say that the timing may be slightly early on one scroll and slightly late on the next so that that this back and forth fluctuation appears as stuttering. I don't have any ideas of how to solve it easily (or at all).

Re: Scroll starts to bump/flicker
No driver problem. That is nonsense!
(Tested on 4 (FOUR!) computers now)
Just move your mouse over the gadget and away from it REGULARLY and you will see the scroll is no longer running smoothly
