Hi robert

We have a stability problem with freetype and we will address it in the 
coming months.

Hello Group,


since yesterday I'm investigating the Roassal examples.

Udderlying system is:

  * Pharo-50761.image

  * pharo-spur --version

Roassal is loaded like this:

  * |Gofer it||
    smalltalkhubUser: 'ObjectProfile' project: 'Roassal2';||
    configurationOf: 'Roassal2';||
    loadStable.|



In the office (yes, in worktime :)  ) I also tested on Windows 7.

I only click through all the built in Roassal examples. I AM 
IMPRESSED! Very powerful system, even the GIS (map) part with OSM 
integration (VOW!)

Anyway, on windows it crashed many times (On WIndows I downloaded 
this: http://moosetechnology.org/res/download/moose_suite_6_0-win.zip)


I observed that windows crash moment was always some kind of animation 
(window transition animation of the Roassal exmaples browser or 
visualization animation like pan or zoom).


Question:

  * Is there a way to disable Roassal visualization animations?
  * is there a way to disable window component animation in the
    Roassal Example Browser? (When clicking on the dots and moving
    between examples list and the visualization example itself, for
    example)

I wonder if it would make the windows run more stable.

On Linux it is OK but also painfully slow (ok, old machines).

I prefer animationless repaint of the visualization canvas and window 
transitions.


thanks

Robert
