Hi Dominic, All of that should be done. I'll copy Steve Cocchi to see how much of that is logged. One thing that was added to CVE recently is a cache setting option for automatic. If set to automatic, although the view is cached, the cache is automatically updated when model elements change. This is intended to give you the best of both. You get automatic updates, but you also get the simple, and significant, display performance improvement that the cache gives to the the sheet. The display performance improvement can really be enormous. There are many cases where the non-cached display resymbolization is debilitating and the cached performance is effortless. Of course having this switch buried very deep in a dialog box isn't really the way to illuminate its possibility. It should in my opinion be a switch on a corner of the sheet, with an explanation of what it is in a popup (or in whatever indicator). We should think of it as a film that rolls down over the view, or doesn't, like a window shade that rolls up and down. If the bugs you mentioned are fixed, then most people would want the shade down, for performance. However, there is another problem that has to be fixed. We don't allow activation of references by right click on elements through the cached view. In fact we even remove the activate function from the right click menu. We should either allow activation, or add an indicator saying the view has to be uncached first, and we could say: "roll up the window shade to activate"
