B1 - Information double-flickering in browser fullscreen

Post by Dreamer »

It's not a new bug, but I think it's worse in the new version and I didn't find any 'official' topic in bug reports.

(Double) Flickering in fullscreen is very annoying. Transparent background is very nice new feature, but I have to disable Information in fullscreen because of this flickering. I think it's very important issue and should be fixed in this version, if possible.

Windows Vista SP1, XnView 1.96 beta 1.

Do you use 'delayed high quality zoom'?

It looks it 'blinks' just once if 'delayed high quality zoom' is disabled, twice if enabled.

Strange, perhaps it's HW related, or it's Vista, AERO, don't know. Did you try it with my ini?

Anyone else??

With your .ini, disable 'use delayed' and restart xnview or choose another file => no blink

I tried to rename the ini file and use empty ini, or even the one from beta 2 zip archive, still the same, even with default settings.

Try "1" for 'use delayed' option = double blink, disable 'use delayed' option = single blink.

Edit: perhaps you can't see double blink because the image is too small, then delayed HQ works too quickly and you can see only a single blink, so perhaps you could try a larger image.

I don't know if it's related to the bug I reported here http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=16448
I also have info text turned on; turning it off doesn't "cure" my flickering, and even toggling (by pressing "i" key in Viewer) makes the picture "blink".

FYI Karol: Here, with the v1.96B2, I only have the info text "blink effect", not at all a picture "blink effect".
