Hello, here comes my attempt to avoid unnecessary redraws caused by images that are not visible. The first patch makes some minor optimizations to the drawing code and disables the use of the asap parameter for better testing. The second patch replaces the general queueDrawTotal() in Layout::resizeIdle () with more specific redraw calls in widgets that can be topLevel. Currently only Textblock is optimized. The idea is that resizing child widgets in a textblock don't affect the layout of the textblock above the resizing widget. So only the area below needs to be redrawn. I think that does not hold for tables, but perhaps other optimizations are possible here? Ideas anyone? The effect is visible e.g. on http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/pub/DragonFly/packages/stable/DragonFly-1.10.1... but not on table based pages. Cheers, Johannes
