[Kicad-developers] Couple raytracer "problems"/questions

I am aware of that issue, it happens to me once in a while.
I couldn't find the reason for that yet,
I believe it may be related with some of this:
- use of openMP, that for some reason it is not synchronizing /drawing in the end.
- openGL buffering problem? that for some reason it is not copied and displayed.
- something with relation of this two that I am not able to understand or maybe some obscure way how things are copied (timmings/DMA..) from CPU to GPU mem.
At the time I tried to make some experimentation and tricks looking for a fix but as it was hard (random) to reproduce, I couldn't come with a solution in the meantime :/
