As many have said, thank you for a great product and for always making it better.
I was using the Cluster Scanner tab during a recent 6m band opening, and I noticed that whenever the number of spots exceeds the size of the scanner boxes that a vertical scroll bar appears. That in and of itself is okay, except that whenever any of the cluster boxes have a scroll bar then all the scanner boxes appear to jitter badly. I am using v1.22.00 with Omnirig v1.15, and windows 7 ultimate.
Thank again for a great product.

Are you experiencing a situation where the number of calls in the same box is higher than provided space?
well... it's really rare, but i will check with case. Thanks for reporting

That's was exactly what I experienced. In fact I also think that many of the cluster spot boxes were full beyond what could be displayed, resulting in several boxes being full and having vertical scroll bars.
I am guessing here, but it was like the spots were very quickly moving between the boxes, even though I was not turning the VFO knob on my rig.
I agree, this is a rare occurrence.

That is what is causing it
At times when there is a contest, DXpeditions or a lift on six meters there are so many skimmer spots being received is a very short time that the computer program can't display them fast enough.
It might help to make sure that in the option/cat & cluster tab that the box marked show un-grouped is not checked
You might also set the VE7CC cluster to filter out unwanted spots to reduce the volume of incoming spots

I experienced this issue again with 1.23.0.
Maybe one solution is to not add redundant entries to the frequency/spot boxes. In other words, if a callsign is already in the box, don't add it again.
Thanks guys ! ! !
