I am having the strangest thing going on since I upgraded to 1.9.4, atleast I

If I haven't moved the mouse for a few hours, xastir screen won't update,
people won't move, nothing happens. As soon as I move the mouse, the
callsigns at the bottom left go completely nuts as it scrolls through
thousands of packets, and the All-Message-Traffic window will just scroll
messages quickly.
I fail to believe this is an X setting, as I have turned off all screen saver
type features long ago. I am also running a satellite tracking program, and
it updates fine.
It seems to happen after 3 or so hours, not sure exactly how long though.
1.9.4 is a re-branded 1.9.3. That's what we do when we think the
sources have been reasonably stable and it's been a while since the
last release.
Since you were running 1.9.3 you were either running CVS or one of
the development snapshots. If CVS then it might be hard to pin down
exactly which code you were running. If a devel snapshot you may
still have it around and can switch back to it in order to test.
If possible, switch back to the version you were running before and
give it a test under the exact same conditions to see if it does it
as well.
I haven't seen such operation, but my conditions may be drastically
different than yours. I'm in a hot APRS area and have a TNC on the
air, plus a filtered feed off Firenet up and running.
Have you changed OS, OS version, or Window Manager lately? Window
manager settings?
What OS and version are you running, and what window manager?
