There are two actions which cause or potentially cause visual display issues with the new MDI functionality.

Moving an MDI chart within the main window by grabbing and dragging the title bar, and scrolling the virtual space (still in development). These actions require redrawing, of the container window background, and also redrawing of the affected charts because portions of charts, are being uncovered and need to be redrawn.

If we do immediate redrawing, then there is no obvious visual effect, but based upon user feedback, this causes a significant performance issue.

So we will add an option for either immediate or delayed redrawing. And leave it up to users as to how they want to handle this. If there is a visual effect it is only temporary and is under a second. Until the affected portions of the container window background, and charts are redrawn.

Another option we will add, is the ability to use an outline, when moving an MDI window. So you will just see an outline rectangle and the window will not actually be moved until you release the left pointer/mouse button. This will solve the graphics issues.
