Veeeery slow interface redraw when moving to another monitor

Post by *jesped »

I use a 3 monitor setup, and TC64 does a veeeery slow interface redraw when I move it to a different monitor. Like 10 seconds slow. It looks like it is redrawing the interface many times over.

And this is using a hotkey that automatically moves the window to another monitor.

If I drag the window to a different monitor it freezes in the middle of the two, constantly redrawing the interface for like 10 seconds.

TC32 is faster, but even that is pretty slow, like 5-6 seconds.

Is there any setting that controls this behavior?

No other software I've seen behaves this slow, even very heavy apps like Photoshop, After Effects or 3ds Max...

This happens when the two monitors have different screen resolutions (DPI, dots per inch). Especially the re-loading of the button bar can take a while. I don't see multiple redraws, though, unless resizing of the moving window causes it to jump back to the previous screen.

Yes, they have different DPI because they are very different in size, but TC is the only app I've seen that behaves this extremely slow. Any reason for that?

And why is TC64 so much slower than TC32 in this?

Any way to fix this besides setting the same Scaling to all displays?

Sorry, I don't know why it takes several seconds for you, it should only be a fraction of a second.
