Well, at high speed the dot in the bangs drops out all together. The  
redraw of numbers in the float box rarely updates in real time. I  
have to admit I have had the tendency of using too many of them. At  
times the redraw of the number boxes has frozen all together. Even  
when manually dragging the numbers. In a sub window I have closed it  
and re-opened it to find the number refreshed. Not sure what causes  
that. Have paid attention to what I have done but not detected  
anything unusual.

Does that help?
