Sure. Take a look at:

I think the offender is
q = get_kbrd(1)
but that's not an issue for DG window refresh/retain and I can't recall
it being an issue for FG in the past either. I pause to peruse and
compare FG plots all the time.

As far as I can remember (it did take an entire month to get IDL
reinstalled on my "upgraded" computer) this is new behaviour. Whether
it's caused by IDL v8.2.2 or by the use of the nVidia driver in RHEL6 --
or some unholy combination of the two -- I'm trying to figure out.

cheers,
