Navigator Panel Object Rendering Problem, Red Navigator Artboard with Keyboard Scrolling Arrows

@vectoradmin,
Bug:
Navigator Object Rendering Problem:
For some reason VectorStyler is not "fully" rendering in the Navigator Panel for some lines and Rectangles at small stroke weights (about 1pt or less).
The weird thing is that the rendering of a Rectangle will show some sides one time but the next time it might show different sides and miss the other ones.
You would think if it can render one of the sides at a given size, it would be able to render every side.
As you scroll from the drop-down menu, as the stroke weight gets lower and lower it will “lose” more sides. It shows one side at Hairline (so again, then why can't it show all sides?).
If you move the object around with the arrow keys on the keyboard, sometimes it adds a side, then it drops a side, kind of randomly. Sometimes it fully renders, but if you undo the movement to original position, it show partially rendered again. Strange.
Straight lines can have dashed look with various "spacing", in what appear to be in random ways.
.Red Artboard with Keyboard Scrolling Arrows:
With any object selected, when you push and HOLD DOWN the Arrow Keys CONTINUOUSLY to move the selection, in any direction, the entire Navigator Artboard turns Solid Red and Covers all objects completely. I am “guessing” this glitch may be related, in some strange way, to the Red colored “Zoom Position Indicator Box”.
Some of this may be expected rendering due to size and angles, but a couple of these things are definitely bugs.
I will send you the VectorStyler File.
Example:
-
@Vector-Rock The red artboard is a bug (image not available for the navigator). It should keep the original image until updated.
Some explanation of the artifacts. The Navigator panel shows image (lets call it complete) of the current canvas.
This image is updated with some delay (set in the Display Options of the document), and it is typically rendered at high resolution.When shown in the Navigator panel the complete image is scaled down with whatever scaling scheme the host system works fastest with (this might be nearest neighborhood). this scaling creates the thin line artifacts.
This complete image is the same that is used when quickly zooming in and out, to render a (sometimes blurred) quick preview before the full resolution display is available.
I add both (red and artifact) issues to the backlog as bugs. These will be fixed, but I'm not sure how much of the artifacts will go away, as rendering yet another image of the document, just for the navigator panel may be time consuming.

Past a certain threshold (say, 50 objects), the app could switch to Outline Mode in the Navigator when panning. I guess this would be faster.

I'm not sure about this one. I think showing a downscaled complete image (which is available anyway, and in color) is still better than outlines.
-
@vectoradmin I' wasn't sure either. The idea was that using the downscaled outline version of the image would be faster, but I guess it isn't.

@vectoradmin,
Regarding the artifacts, you know best on how or if makes sense to tackle that. The reason I pointed it out was just to make sure you were aware of it, and if the rendering wasn't what you expect or want, you could fix it. I wasn't sure whether this was "normal"/expected.
If by the Red Navigator Artboard "image not available", you mean I did not send you a screen shot showing this, that is correct. I can't do the screen shot when holding down the arrow keys on keyboard. But I think you confirmed this anyway. It's easy to replicate.

this means the image is not available yet for the navigator panel to show (being rendered in the background).

OK, I follow you.

@Vector-Rock This has been fixed in build 1.0.044
