------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Nov 25 04:34:04 -0800 2005 ------- An accidental discovery I made: I had opened the file, which has a lot of headings and tables-- The TOC runs into 7 pages. I had not carried out any editing yet (not even a single keystroke). The file was blinking as usual (see issue 52205). Then I observed closely and found that the Navigator also flickers (but to a much smaller extent). Anyhow I kept the file open for more than an hour, and at the end of that period the flickering stopped. At this time, I noticed that the page count has gone down from 291 to 290. I had not done anything to the file, so I assume Writer does some optimization on its own and then it repaginates the entire file. It might be doing this page by page, and each change ripples down towards the end of the file, producing a "blink". Probably Writer updates the entries in the Navigator, which is why there is a flicker in Navigator window also. Once this optimization process is over, the blinking stops. One reason could be the presence of lot of tables, which have two properties ENABLED: 1. Allow table to split across pages and columns 2. Allow row to break across pages and columns. (Writer has automatically set these properties while converting the file from doc to odt.) Another factor could be that this PC is slow, with a limited RAM (PIII, 733 MHz with 128 MB RAM). So when Writer does its optimization, the display cannot hide the ripples. In a faster PC, the effect might be unnoticeable. If my guess is right, this may happen in case of large documents which contain a lot of tables (especially those spanning over multiple pages) and headings. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
