Not a bit of slow down nor visual oddities.

Cetin,

When you navigate from record to record in a grid with Sparse=.f., it becomes gray for a moment, then becomes normal again. I noticed this behavior on other grids too. Perhaps, it's unnoticable on faster computers. That's why I prefer my approach with sparse=.t. The problem here, that active cell becomes highlighted first, then the whole row, but it's better (IMHO), than the whole grid becomes gray for a moment.

I made more tests, and noticed, that grid becomes gray for a moment, when I use PageUp/PageDown buttons, so grid should re-draw itself... It doesn't depend on sparse property, though with sparse=.f. it happens on each movement, while with sparse=.t. only when we want to access unvisible at this moment part of the grid.
