I have confirmation from one of my always reliable sources
that there has been a bit of a timer issue introduced
in IDL 7.0 and 7.1. Basically, this kind of thing can
occur unless there is a short delay between handling one
timer event and sending the next. Normally, some small
amount of processing before the next event is sent is
enough to put things right (that is, put the next timer
event at end of the event handler, not at the top).
Sometimes you might need to slow things down a bit with
a Wait statement.
Cheers,
David
