Has anyone noticed how IC is nicking the keyboard everytime it come to the end of analyzing/processing a title?

this is terrible especially when it's analyzing and you are trying to type as you can get no more than 2-3 keys pressed before it nicks the keyboard and main window!

before I would just click the desktop icon and get rid of IC completely and hear nothing from it until it finished, now it's nicking me keyboard all the time :p

I would hate to think if I was pressing enter at the wrong time it would cancel the process. Cordless keyboards/mice aint a wise choice to have when frustrated cos of this (easily flung across room:D). I have requested on the Pinnacle site that they offer some sort of 'do you really wanna cancel option' if the cancel is pressed but no joy as of yet, but now it's hogging the main window by constantly making itself the centre of attraction :p

took me 30 mins to type this post, 2 letters at a time

p.s. is anyone's IC slower cos I can't understand why IC is going upto 30% slower with processing unless it's analyzing more of the picture?. It's going from bad to worse

Hm, I don't think this happens when you have the display of the movie turned off. Its been fine ever since I turned that off. Trippy. Easy workaround.
