I tried it, but no response till now.

Then I try try send another question about grid speed opt. here.

In the beginning of Grid paint is Canvas.GetClipRect called to obtain area
which wee must redraw. This function directly calls WidgetSet.GetClipBox.
I find out difference betwen Win32 and gtk2 bahaviour of this func.

In gtk2 TGtk2WidgetSet.GetClipBox returns previously Invalidated area
(through DC.PaintRectangle = PS.rcPaint retrieved in BeginPaint)

But in win32 directly calls Windows.GetClipBox, but this func returns
whole grid area. Do not takes account on invalidated area retrieved in
BeginPaint.

Result of this difference is whole grid redraw in windows, even if only
one cell is invalidated.

Question si how to correct this?
Modify TWin32WidgetSet.GetClipBox to behave as TGtk2WidgetSet.GetClipBox?
I'am not sure, because GetClipBox should probably correspond to Win32
documentation.
How is this solved in another widgetsets?
