I mean EXTREMELY hard to fix. The most difficult type of bug, because it has to do with timing, which is different on every computer.

On MA3, the left and right-arrow keys are used to scroll the scene back and forth. It should scroll smoothly, but some machines get rather jerky. It depends completely on what other programs, TSAs, and viruses are stealing clock cycles away from the Aquarium. No matter what I try, half the testers say "There - it's smooth, don't change a thing!", while the other half say "It was smooth before, but now it's jerky. Change it back!". Since it's always smooth on my machines, I'm working in the blind.
