feature or bug? progress stops while dragging

[Digga]

I don't know if this is a small bug or a feature (as often, who really knows ;-)) or just a limitation, but I thought I'd mention it nevertheless.
I don't really thing it's a bug, but I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that way:

if DVD-RB is working and you drag the windows GUI around the screen, or scroll the status window (main window "program status"), the overall progress stops and is resumed if you release the mouse button.
verified during rebuild phase via task manager, among others.

using DVD-RB 1.28.2 Pro on WinXPx64SP2.

Only the onscreen image is frozen, the program continues to run. You can check it by looking at the counter... it skips forward when you drop the box. You're not dragging the actual box around like you would with Internet explorer, you're only dragging the outline of the GUI.

Welcome to the wierdness of Windows. :)

If you're in the command line window, you can pause things my using the scroll bar :)

Happens with lots of programs, it's some kind of limitation...you know how keyboards can't only hold max 3 key presses at the time...something like that but for inside your computer.....uhhhhh or sumin :)

I used to notice on the last setup I had if I dragged a window it would cause the DVD drive to slow down reading!!!!

This actually pretty common stuff thought and not "wrong" as such. But I've noticed that having things like "APIC" set to ON in the bios can cause this sort of stuff to happen when it didn't before....(don't mess with APIC though, your computer won't boot if you change it without changing drivers first)...I'm just giving that as another weird example.

It's not a bug though :)

:) it was long time ago... photoshop uses ctrl-shift-alt-z for step back I think :)

The strangest windows redrawing issue I've seen is ifoedit's progress bar. If you drag it off the screen the program runs almost twice as fast.

I really think it's more of a programming issue (maybe language limitation even) then a window's issue though. Some programs freeze when dragging/resizing others don't.

ps still uses short cuts with FOUR keys:

e.g.: "crtl+shift+alt+s"
something i use frequently => save for web
