Touchpad pan 'choppy' in Eeschema, 'smooth' in Pcbnew

[robotarmy]

Just as it says on the tin... I'm trying the latest release with the 'Use touchpad to pan' option enabled on my mac. It works beautifully compared to previous, but the schematic view is much choppier than the PCB layout view.

I'm guessing there's some "The schematic thing uses a different rendering engine to the PCB thing" reason for it.

You are using the OpenGL canvas on Pcbnew which is completely different
than the legacy canvas used by Eeschema. The performance of the legacy
canvas in Pcbnew will be similar to that of Eeschema. At some point in
the future, Eeschema will be ported to the OpenGL (GAL) canvas. When
that happens is anybody's guess.
