sooooo, is this supposed to happen? if i pan around, move objects etc. then it does what i would expect it to do, but if i don't do anything and just move my mouse around, then it restarts the active shade thingy

This shouldn't happen, can you tell me what version of max are you using ?

I think I've seen this before. Max, in its infinite wisdom, is checking which object is under the mouse, to know if it has to change the mouse cursor, or something like that. Somehow, during these checks, it manages to tell us that the object was modified.

We'll try to reproduce it and check if there's some way to ignore these bogus change messages.

2012 x64 is the max version

Got a similar issue... In my case the active shade doesn't restart but panning or zooming has no effect, only updates when rotating...
Max version 2014 x64
