Description Jeb Eldridge 2015-05-11 14:59:08 UTC 
While editing a Searchable PDF file I have imported to GIMP, the mouse tends to slow down and appear to "skip" or "hop" around the computer screen when I move it, almost in a fashion like when you slow down the frames per second on a video clip - the same idea.
This is causing severe problems while working on a file, as it is difficult to determine where exactly I am editing on the photograph/PDF.

I have attempted bringing down the DPI of the image during import and also switched out of Single Window Mode to Classic Mode (with three individual windows) to no luck. Bringing down the DPI doesn't even help speed up the mouse. It's really an odd situation as I've never experienced this while attempting to edit a JPEG or PNG photo.



Here are my computer specs:

OS: Windows 10 Professional Technical Preview Build 10074 (64-Bit)
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 850 @ 3.30GHz
RAM: 8GB DDR3
Graphics: NVidia GeForce GT 440, Driver 347.52, DirectX Runtime 11, NVidia Control Panel 8.1.760.0
GIMP Version: 2.8.14
