scrollbars

Hi there
• I've got a problem with scrollbars showing their thumbpositions if  
I run the stack on OSX Tiger. I f you open  the card holding more  
than one scrollbar it takes very long  until the card is ready and  
you can start your work. During this time the multicoloured windmill- 
cursor is shown. When your card is ready,  the changing of the  
scrollbars' thumbpositions is very jerky.

• The problem doesn't occur if I run the stack on OSX Panther, OS 9.x  
and Windows 2000 (Pentium III / 1000 mhz), or if I switch off the  
"show value" property (in this case the stack runs also fast using  
OSX Tiger).

• How to trigger the problem:
- create a new stack with two cards
- go to card two and place some scrollbars on it
- set the "start value" of each to 100
- set the "end value" of each to 0
!!! The other way round works fine ( "start value" set to 0 and the  
"end value"  set to 100 !!!

Now, you've got the problem: Dragging the thumb of one of the  
scrollbars or swichting from card 1 to card 2 or the other way round  
will trigger the showing up of this psychedelic multicoloured  
windmill-cursor  - and changing the thumbs' positions will be jerky.

I've tried out Revolution 2.5. up to 2.8.0 - it's always the same  
problem, so the problem hasn't anythig to do with the release of  
Revolution.


Cheers
Martin
