Tiled vi pane backgrounds can cause slow slider control updating

[viScience]

In diagnosing a slow responding slider control I found that the problem was having selected a Pane background image that was set to Brushed Metal and Tiled.

It turns out that it was the tiled setting that caused the slowdown (which was very pronounced).  It may not be commonly known, but if you right click on a vi pane scroll bar you

have a right click menu that has the option of setting the background image jpg.

Hmm, yes, it's actually pretty noticeable even all you have on the front panel is a slide control (you can see the slider trailing the mouse pointer when you move it up and down). It also seems to be specific to the metal brushed theme and doesn't happen when other backgrounds are tiled...

Let me do some more testing here...

I ended up reporting this to R&D for investigation. You can track this issue in the future under ID 215252.

Thanks for reporting this to us!

Cheers,
