Zagna Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 If you use Intersect and make sure the area chosen is outside a selection, the new selection can become laggy. If you create a small single selection and keep going circles around a point you choose without touching the selection, the new selection rectangle is a bit slow. If you create a complicated selection with multiple small selections and xor or anything to make it complex, then using Intersect and keep going circles around the point without touching the selection is very laggy. Not to the point of maxing either core but visible cursor and rectangle lag. But if in either case you so much as touch the original selection the new Intersect is much faster.

Rick Brewster Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 What CPU do you have? Type and speed (ex, Core 2 Duo E6600, 2.4GHz) Also, are you doing Intersect via the shortcut key, or via the toolbar menu?

Zagna Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.7GHz running Vista Business x64 And I was using the shortcut key. Quick test and the toolbar menu gets 'normal' results. Could be partially related to SetPoint and my BT kb+mouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 No, it's a WinForms bug related to holding down a key and moving the mouse. You can let go of the Ctrl / Alt key once you've started moving the mouse and the lag goes away. So, hold Ctrl/Alt, then put the mouse button down, then move the mouse, then let go of Ctrl/Alt. Paint.NET doesn't require you to hold Ctrl/Alt for the entire duration of the selection drawing. This is the workaround for now.

Zagna Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 I did a quick reboot with a PS/2 keyboard and it felt to me that by using the PS/2 kb and BT mouse, the lag wasn't as severe as with BT combo. But lifting the Alt key on the BT kb solves the issue so this workaround is simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
