# To subscribers of the xforms list from Matthias Rarey <Matthias.Rarey@gmd.de> :
Steve, maybe I can get another comment from you concerning the formbrowser:
I tried to make a spreadsheet using the formbrowser with one form per row
and about a hundred rows. This just works fine, however, as you have
already assumed, I get some flickering during scrolling (Linux on a
300 MHz Pentium II). For some reasons, I have the feeling that this is
a software problem:
- scrolling up works fine, only scrolling down causes flickering
- the number of forms in the browser has nearly no influence (I tried
it with 30 and 100 forms and it looked basically the same)
- I tried double-buffering on the formbrowser and all included forms with
no success
- When I press the 'arrow down' button below the vertical slider of the
formbrowser, you can actually see that the complete browser is cleared
and the content is redrawn afterwards. Pressing 'arrow up' does not
show this behaviour.
I have the feeling that I can't do very much about it, but that you
probably can. Maybe a simple fl_freeze_form at the right places of the
formbrowser code will already do the job. Do you see an easy way to
improve the formbrowser at this point? If yes, I can continue my
software development and wait for next Forms release.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Matthias
