274301 - Screen graphics very slow

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[sturges]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041210

Response to cursor, text input and resizing Mozilla panes is very slow as if the
Windows screen driver is not being used but a special method of I/O directly
from Mozilla.

PC is a Toshiba Tecra M1, with docking station, DVI interface to a Samsung 19"
monitor. However, response is not much better when using the laptop on its own.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Do any resize of Mozilla panes, delete characters in full screen mode, move
cursor etc. 
2.Any of these take ages to respond.
3.

Actual Results:  
Very slow activity in offline or online writing of emails and general response
from Mozilla - nothing to do with connectivity.

Expected Results:  
I expect Mozilla to respond at the same speed as other Window applications.

1. There was similar sluggishness from ZoneAlarm but this is cured in the later
releases. 
2. Similar problems with the keyboard activity not responding like normal
Windows applications seems to have been fixed in this release which makes me
wonder if Mozilla has its own I/O routines.
