I never get the timers action event until i let the drag go. Is
this normal behavior within realbasic?
Yes. Timers fire when there is nothing else to do. So, at best, you
are guaranteed that the timer will fire in no less time than is
specified. But, in fact, more time may elapse.
Threads aren't going to help you out here either because a thread in
Rb only yields at predetermined times and in the middle of a drag is
definite *not* going to be a time to yield. In fact, I think I
probably wouldn't even put a drag in a thread if I could help it.
I'm not sure there is a pure Rb solution to this problem.
