Window Options Menu

This menu controls whether windows are automatically updated (e.g. when they change or are brought to the front) or whether they have to be manually updated using the pop up menu in the window. This option applies to all windows and cannot be used to control individual windows.

This option can be useful when you have a large number of complex windows where every time something is updated every window will be updated. Even on a fast computer the delays can sometimes be irritating ... in this case it may be convenient to set the windows to manual updating.
