The main menus size should be saved with the default settings.  It is nice that it saves the power-user mode.  Problem is the default screen is too small and some of your selectors overlap. 

The min/max and current all being one color make it difficult to determine what going on.   If for example, you have a digital signal.   It is high, then it is low.  Now I have a line at the high state and one at the low.  Where is that signal....  Better to allow multiple colors.     I do like how the min/max works now compared with the previous version.   I don't like that when I move the graph horizontally, the min/max data still doesn't clear properly and requires a manual reset. 

When FFT is selected, the main graph flickers badly.   Not a functional problem but just doesn't look professional.

When selecting finer horizontal resolutions, the main graph flickers badly (even without running an FFT).     

I like the new scale settings.   Both horizontal and vertical.   So much faster now setting it.   

Big thanks for including all the features we talked about for the power-user.   

Overall, this version is a big improvement IMO.  So much easier to drive.

Thanks for the feedback. We have just released v2.5.8 on our website, including fixes for all of these issues.

The flickering issue is hardware-dependent, and we were only able to reproduce it on one machine. There is a chance that our patch may not fix it on your machine. Let us know if the problem is resolved for you.

Default settings and the overlap of menu items appear fixed. I like the new colors for the min/max.  Min/Max now seems to reset correctly. 

Flicker is still very poor.   Even when using the internal trigger with no signals applied, it flickers.  Let me put it this way, it isn't something I would have ever released.  It's that bad.  It reminds me of that original NanoVNA software they had when I first looked at it.

Which portion of the screen flickers? The entire graph, or only the traces? Do the axis labels flicker as well? What about the intensity grading in CDF mode?
We can't currently reproduce this on our machines, so this will help us to narrow down the problem.
***
We can cause the whole graph to flicker if we modify the timings of some graphics calls. There is a narrow window which can cause a race condition. We'll send you a v2.5.9 prerelease version tomorrow morning which will hopefully fix the issue.
joeqsmith:
I would call it the entire graph area, including the axis labels, cursors and traces.  Everything in the darker colored area flickers.   Without the FFT running, if I hold the mouse button over the white bar at the top, it will increase the flicker frequency.
