With Auctionsieve 2.6.7 on Ubuntu 14.04, when I move the pointer around with the mouse, the user interface is laggy.
A shady gray color is slowly painted across discrete rows of the screen from left to right ("row-highlighter"). This behavior makes Auctionsieve much slower to use. The developer of Auctionsieve responded to me on Auctionsieve forums (6/21/2014). He said he suspects "a weird combination of window manager, GPU driver, and JAVA", and suggested that I try Java 8.
At this time, OpenJDK 8 is not in the Ubuntu repositories, and I don't want to destabilize my system by installing it by some other means (e.g. PPA). I am not a Ubuntu expert, and I am trying to keep things simple, as well as keep my OS clean and stable.
Has anyone encountered this issue, and overcome it?
