My biggest complaint about LW6 is the choppiness when scrolling, selecting and copy/pasting information. It can make the program extremely slow and difficult to navigate when the page has to reload every time I click on something, select a cell or copy and paste information. Is there anything I can do to speed it up? I made a quick video demonstrating the difference between LW 5 and 6.

Thanks for all your hard work. LW6 has big and wonderful improvements, but this is a main detractor from those unfortunately.

I think it had these kinds of issues months ago, but I thought most of them were cleaned up by now? 6.012 b151 is the current release.

I'm on 6.0.7.132...downloading new update.

EDIT: Solid update. Page doesn't reload on every move, but page won't load until you stop moving the mouse wheel.

Big improvement, non the less. Thanks!
