The screen isn't redrawn, a simplified scene is rendered off screen to detect
what was clicked. That being said it does use the same display list for the
pieces, a slightly less accurate "piece" could be drawn which would be quicker,
the reason I didn't bother is because this off screen "drawing" is very quick.
The fact it occasionally takes a long time to do this is likely a problem with
the graphics driver, but maybe there is something that could be done in the
code. It's difficult for me to try anything as I don't get the problem, maybe
when I get a machine with Vista on it I might be able to reproduce it.
Yeah, I'm guessing that it's a driver issue as well. In particular as
it happens under both vista and linux with the same card (vista being
far the worst). If I comment out the lines 2262-2269 in drawboard3d.c
everything is working fine as far as I can tell.
