Moving the cursor should not require much repaint. And after startup it 
works fine, so that I suspect a problem with the information collected 
over time.

You remember my suggestion, to use an line-cache in the SynEdit 
component? Such a cache allows to bypass the block folding and other 
possibly time consuming actions, while only navigating through an file 
without editing.

Windows 32 bit.

My repaired machine just has arrived, I'll retry under Linux when I've 
reinstalled the system and Lazarus.

I've not really used Lazarus 0.9.26 or older, now I'm just following the 
SVN trunk.
