Details

We need a way to control live window resizing, which is too slow on slower machines and larger pages, or have reflow be changed (interruptible/faster) so that live resizing is acceptible on big pages and slow machines. There is also a small problem with window resizing now where, reproduced thus: 1. In viewer, start to resize the window by clicking on the *inside* corner of the grow box. 2. Move the mouse 1 pixel in any direction. 3. Note that the window size has changed by about 14 pixels, not the one pixel you moved the mouse. Basically, it's snapping the outside corner of the window to the mouse location, rather than doing a delta on mouse location, as it should be.

Live resizing is just for debugging. I'll turn it off for optimized builds.

Fixed. Live resizing is only enabled in debug builds when the command key is down.
Did you fix the snap-to-mouse issue with resizing as well, or should I move that to another bug?
Snap-to-mouse is related to draw-on-resize which is a debug-mode feature not even activated by default so I don't think it's worth filing a bug against it.

[Can't verify, since the 2.4.99 and 2.8.99 Mac OS builds do not support live window resizing; this is covered in a separate bug. Will verify when that bug is fixed.]
The bug you are refering to (#2941 "Reflow on resize just stopped working") has been closed as Invalid. This one can be closed too.

<#insert foot in mouth> (I always hate it when people make uninformed comments in bug reports without having even bothered to the entire bug report, and I see I've just done that myself. ;-p) Verified fixed; thanks Pierre.
