In flurries. But it's hard to follow them in an X terminal while X is
getting bogged down, and if I switch to another (text mode) console it's
liable to skew the results.

In any "event" (groan...), it isn't the window with the slider which is
being a problem. I'll have a go at doing a simple ascii-art drawing here:

                                     |             |
                                     +-------------+

The "Navigator" is the culprit here. However, I found out last night that by
undocking it from the GUI window, the problem is solved.

Don't get me going on that :)
