Visual glitch after choosing an image from montage mode
When I am in montage mode and choose to view an image that has a different size than the previous one that was viewed, then for a split second the new image first appears with the wrong zooming and then it correctly fits itself to the screen. That results in a quick visual "jump". (might not happen always or if there are too few images in the folder)
Also an other problem: sometimes (rarely) the image gets offset to the side so that it's corner is centered on the screen. I don't know how to reproduce that.
The former is a result of how pqiv asynchronously loads images and how montage mode works. It's hard to change that in a clean way.
The latter is an unfortunate consequence of my design choice to support as many window managers as possible while still using a modern toolkit. I don't think I'd do that again, but I don't see how to change that now without rewriting larger parts of the redrawing/positioning code.
I think pqiv is the second best image viewer for me, I even consider having it as a "main" to escape having any Qt libs coming from the other one. But the first issue is kind of a deal breaker for me. If it's really too much work to fix I will close the issue?
