I guess I expected it to be more like scrolling a web page - once things are finally downloaded, you can scroll up and down easily with no change to the page. I switched to medium thumbnails and scroll slower to help me not get disoriented from seeing the "blinking".
As part of chasing down the "all shelves missing" and the "spurious books" problems (below), I have improved somewhat the performance of painting and reduced some of the flickering. It still paints on demand, but it might be easier on your eyes.

I just thought you might like to know.
I would rather not being in the position where you had to tell me, but as we are there, it is better to know.

I think I have fixed this. I say "think I" because I can't reproduce it, but it is completely clear where the problem must be. I decided to rewrite it, simplifying some of the decision process inside CC.

In the process I have improved painting performance and reduced some flickering.

I can only make it happen when size is Med/Large, maybe because with Small they all fit on one screen and with Normal they still fit on <2 screens.
This I could reproduce, and I have fixed what I could see. I also found some problems that might have caused the wrong cover to be placed into the middle of a shelf. This implementation scrolls more smoothly and appears to paint faster.

I will release a beta 3 once Steven makes an official version. That may happen on Monday.
