    Has anyone noticed that in IC5141 the layout window wiggles when descending?

    Wiggles? What do you mean by that? I'm assume you mean that it moves about the
    screen somehow -in which case I've not seen it.

    What platform, window manager etc are you using - I suspect that could be
    relevant.

    Andrew.

    I see the wiggles in Linux also.

    When I descend in the layout the window moves up about 10 pixels and
    then down 10 pixels.

    Erik,

    Odd. I've not seen it, and neither has my colleague who you are dealing with
    this via your customer support request.

    Andrew.

    Andrew:
    The root cause of the problem turned out to be the new Synchronicity
    menu. They are using a graphic instead of text for the pull down menu
    heading. The graphic height was larger than the text height so each
    time one descended it would first make the menu the height of the text
    and then make it bigger to allow for the graphic. When it made the
    menu bigger it redrew the schematic or layout as it was resized
    slightly and made it look like the window bounced. The variable to
    turn off the Synchronicity menu graphic is:
    dssShowSyncIconOnMenus=nil
