This is on Windows 8 x64 Professional with DF V5.10.Beta 13.

Since updating from Beta 12 to Beta 13, the mouse pointer gets very slow and jerky during the 2-3 second period that DF is changing to a new wallpaper. I never noticed this on previous versions.

My wallpapers are stored locally on my Intel SSD drive which is the primary system (C:\) drive.

Hi Keith;

I've noticed the delay in B13 as well. It almost feels like the mouse "snags" on something in the few seconds around the wallpaper change. I've set mine to 10 minute intervals, and I notice it on every change.

No problemo. That's what development and testing is all about. Looking forward to resolving the jerkiness.

Beta 14 dramatically improved this issue. Thus far, I'm pretty sure this is no longer a problem.

I would like to resurrect this issue. The jerkiness is pretty noticeable in DF V5.1. Perhaps DF can be optimized a bit more to reduce or eliminate the mouse jerkiness during wallpaper changes.

No, disabling these settings does not make any difference. I see no improvement.

Beta 2 feels like it has fixed this mouse problem. Thus far I am not experiencing the jerky, bumpy behavior since installing Beta 2. I did activate the "Use Internal Wallpaper Processing" on installing Beta 2.

Thanks for your attention to this issue...really appreciate it.
