- We botched. The browser should, by default, run in "animation" mode.
- We accidentally made the browser run in "normal" mode. This can cause
- substantial screen delay updates for programs that go for long
- stretches without checking for events.
-
- This can also cause other programs to exhibit this behavior, because
- if you run them from browser and they don't have a preferences file
- specifying to use "animation" mode, they'll just use whatever the
- browser was using.
-
- The workaround:
-
- 1) Run the browser
- 2) Hit alt-shift-5 to bring up the preferences box
- 3) Click on "animation"
- 4) Hit "save"
- 5) Quit Executor, run it again, and the problem should be gone.
-
- We'll modify the browser so it causes screen updates to be more
- frequent, and we'll set the default behavior for applications under
- DOS to be animation.
