Hi there, I'm making enhancements to EWebLauncher & the ewk backend on a low end mips box. A colleague of mine is disappointed that the screen goes blank for several seconds before displaying more complex pages like bbc news.# What we would like to be able to do is leave the old page on the screen until there is some text or graphics on the new page to be displayed. We are not using WebKit2. WebCore::FrameView::layout getting called only invalidates stuff on the screen & doesn't gaurantee that WebCore::FrameView::paintContents has anything to draw other than blank the screen in the next redraw session D.J.
