Bug: Extended Map Editor Bug?

And why does it feel so sluggish when scrolling the map area in the extended map editor compared to the in-game editor? I love the features, but this "bug" and sluggishness keep me for months from doing any map in there.

So many questions spring to mind right away like

1/ WHY wait for months before reporting it ?

2/ WHY, if "Other resolutions are fine, including full screen mode." has the issue "keep me for months from doing any map in there" ? Obviously you could have been doing what you wanted to do as you say it worked fine otherwise

3/ WHY assume it's "sluggish" for everyone..... don't you think if we saw a sluggishness issue when we were developing it we would have dealt with it ?

Bugs are things that happen to everyone. I have always run it desktop and windowed and it's neither skewed nor sluggish and I can guarantee 99.999% that you have a faster computer with more memory than I do and, on top of that, NOBODY else has reported a problem with it.

At first glance 1366 x 768 *might* be an issue but 1600 x 1280 has been a stock resolution that has been working fine since we first introduced the editor and well before we introduced desktop


Some further questions

You say if you run windowed desktop at 1600 x 1280 you get a problem....... do you get either problem if you set the resolution to 1600 x 1280 then run windowed ?

Give us some details of your system.
