Flickering text
-
Does anyone else have this problem or am I the only one? When scrolling an item collection the text of some of the elements flicker. For instance some elements in a dropdown control. This happens in my WPF applications and also in VS2008 Properties windows (like the elements in the list of the Background property)

Mircea, Some considerations: What kind of video card are you running? How much memory does it have? Are the video drives up to date? What is your monitor refresh rate set at in Control Panel? The default is 60 which is not good. Should be at least 72. Do you have the lastest service pack installed for your versions of the Framework?

The video card is quite powerfull Nvidia QuadroFx 350M with OpenGL support with 256+256MB shared, the drivers are up to date but the refresh is 60Hz and cannot change this for the native resolution as it's the only one available. So that's that. Anyway I was planning on suggesting WPF for the design of a new desktop application for a client but gradually finding out about all kinds of limitations is slowly making me reconsider the options. What do you feel about adopting WPF for a business line application at the moment?

We are full steam ahead with our huge WPF project at work. If you are using an LCD, the 60hz is standard, I was back in my monitor mode when I wrote that. Here is a thought. Combine this problem, with the one you just posted on my article, I'm wondering if these two are somehow releated to an issue/conflict, etc. I would strongly suggest using WPF on another machine to see if you experiece the same issues.

Search the web for hits about WPF text being blurry when animated. If animations are being applied, that might be the cause.
