Hi! I'm curious. How do you know that a pixel is "buggy"? Is this seen by looking at the screen, and if so, what are the symptoms? Does it happen with formulas other than Niekamp's? What is the cause of it? TIA. <<
After the showdot hits a buggy pixel, every pixel after that is colored the same. And the showdot usually slows down as if every pixel had the value maxiter. And it continues if you change passes or resolutions! You have to exit fractint and then restart it. I've not seen it in other than the multifractal formula. I'm told it only happens at 1600x1200. So far, no one knows the cause.
