solved [TC 10.52rc1] flickering of the file panel cursor when inwoking separate tree

Post by *petermad »

I see a remakable flickering of the file panel cursor when inwoking the Separate tree AND a Custom View with a colored background is active.

It does not occur in Dark mode. It is not new to TC 10.52rc1 - I also see it in TC 10.51

What exactly do you mean with "invoking"? Which actions exactly cause you a flickering?

I have a button with the command cm_SwitchSeparateTree - when I click that button and one or two trees are being shown I see flickering of the cursor in the active file panel. There is no flickering when the tree turnes off.

I have tried that, but I don't see any flickering here with a yellow background (set via view mode) when using cm_SwitchSeparateTree, neither in 32-bit nor 64-bit.

It seems to be very dependent on the speed of the computer, but even on my Pentium i7 I can see it

I have made this video to show it - it is only when the left panel is active that it occurs - https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/20221005_150138.mp4

View Mode: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/viewmodelightblue.png

This is from a very slow PC with an AMD E2-1800 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 1.70 GHz processor and Windows 10 21H2

It looks like the cursor is re-positioned after an icon was loaded. Unfortunately I don' currently see a way to fix it because I can't reproduce it, sorry.

I also tried to make the video via software, but it slowed the computer so much down that it didn't give the right idea of how it looks. But what I could see when running the video capturing software was that the Tree window opened up blank and stood like that for a couple of seconds, and then the tree began to emerge, and it was then the flickering of the cursor in the file panel began.

I suggest to give you a try next progs:
oCam and ZD Soft Screen Recorder
with these tools I never yet saw any noticable lags...

Another problem with line cursor stabilization in tree view, I presume?

I found the reason! The tree and file list tried to push their background color onto the file list, so it always tried to switch between the two.
