Not a Bug Beta 6 pan speed

I like the ability to change the panning speed. But.. when it is set at it's lowest the edges of a number of corrals "sparkle" to the point of being distracting. Not sure how to define this in technical terms.. sparkling jaggies??

That's why I had picked a certain pan speed. You guys asked for variable speed, so aliasing is just a side effect of the lower speed. You could try different resolutions and speeds.

Gee, thanks Ralph. I hadn't noticed this until you mentioned it. ;-(

Actually it is really only noticable to me when I'm looking for it. Even then it is only in a fairly few places.

Beta 7 seems to have cleared this problem up a lot.. at least on my system

I still see the aliasing in beta 7. For the most part I have to remember to look for it. Otherwise it just looks like very small bubbles or light refraction.

The extra slow panning speed is well worth any aliasing that is there.

I really do like the newest slow panning speed. I get to see the entire tank without the motion sickness.
