I have written a module which keeps a log of all file operations, using this
I notice that when dragging the vertical scroll bar (continuous drag on) something
opens and closes the PDrivers:Messages file many many times. I do not know what does
this or what is read out of the file. I am using RO3.1 (A5000) and Impression 2.17.
Has anyone encountered this before, know why it happens or known how to stop it?
If Resources (the filing system) was moved to disk (eg different territory) then
this operation could become slow. It does not happen with any other task, only
Impression.

I suspect that impression is trying to re-read the physical
page size and borders.

I'm just guessing, but could this be something to do with Impression's
displaying the current print borders, and continually polling the printer
driver to see if they've changed?

Does it still do it if you turn "Display print borders" off in
Preferences?
