Page scrolling and flicker

Post by borisxm »

Hello,

I've just installed the brand new Editor (build 300.0) and encountered page flicker while pressing page up/page down keys. The problem manifests itself only when page background color changed in the Preferences/Accessibility/Page Background Color (other checkboxes are unchecked). It is clearly seen, that after pressing of Page Down key, the page area is erased with white color, and then painted over by actual page image which causes weird flicker effect. The PDF Viewer 2.5 doesn't exhibit this behavior in the same environment and the same configuration options.

Hello borisxm,

The rendering engine in the Editor is totally different than the one in the Viewer - and is noticeably faster and for me producing better rendering of text. However I managed to reproduce this flickering you are mentioning and as such I've passed this to my colleagues in the dev team and have asked them to take a look and explain why this is happening - and if possible fix it.

Best,
Stefan

The issue is fixed and the fix will be available with the next build of the Editor.
