Jerky mouse pointer in TextEdit

Post by redfox »

Regarding AmigaOS 3.2.2 ...

As the user moves the mouse inside the TextEdit window, the pointer appears to be sluggish and jerky. This is especially noticable for 68000 CPU operating at standard 7.14 MHz clock rate.

I followed the recommendation given on a recent 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast video, and replaced the AmigaOS 3.2.2 version of layout.gadget with the AmigaOS 3.2.1 version of layout.gadget.

This workaround works for me. Mouse pointer moves smoothly now within the TextEdit window.

I do not know if there are any other conflicts involved, but this action solved the issue for me.

I also noticed the same effect emulating a 68020 CPU at a slower speed. Again replacing the layout.gadget made the mouse pointer move smoothly.
