Description

I'm using QGIS 1.8 from the OSGeo4W installer on Windows 7.

Everytime I highlight or select a layer in the layer list, the map canvas redraws.
This isn't a big deal when zoomed in, but if I zoom out - having the map redraw itself with lots of data or labels every time I highlight a layer is introducing delays to my workflows.

The option so far is to disable the rendering by unchecking "Render" near the bottom right of the QGIS user interface and then re-enabling it whenever needed.

I've been playing with it more and notice that it doesn't redraw when selecting a point layer.

It only seems to affect layers that contain polygons or lines.

I attached a screen capture to show what it looks like.

Cannot confirm on master on both Linux and Windows. Please try qgis master and report back.

Looks like it could of been from a plugin on that Windows PC running QGIS 1.8 because the re-render problem is not present in QGIS master.

If I find which plugin, I'll let the maintainer know =)
