Rendering content of editor tabs glitch

Post by DIZ »

When content editor window is rendered visual components (editor) is not disabled (it goes when editor tabs are switched between). So it takes longer time to render content of editor windows and produces irritating visual artifact (looked like expanding scrolls). It is most noticeable when edited files quite large (about 1000 lines). Please, fix it

I'm afraid I did not understand anything you wrote. Can you, please, elaborate.

Just open (in ide) two (large in size) php files and try to switch between them. I experienced main menu flickering and some
annoying visual animation effects in the editor window. It looks like expanding scrollbars. (I used v.9.5.2.106). Just minor bug I suppose

Oh, I see. This is a technical limitation by Windows. We have not found a workaround. The flickering you see is due to animation effects of Windows which look kind of awkward in MDI (multi-document-interface) window environment.

No, It is not ms windows issue. Do you use delphi7 and devexpress components for development? If so, just try
cxPageControl1.LockScrollBars /cxPageControl.UnLockScrollBars before/after the rendering process.

The flickering of scrollbars is caused by Windows animation due to MDI window maximizing. Or, maybe we are talking about different things. Text editor is not placed on a tab, it is a separate window. Document tabs are just a visual element. Documents actually do not sit on tabs.
