[Dev] Chandler pegs CPU

[John Anderson]

Actually, I now think the problem is related to the stamping bar. 
Whenever the last button is completely off the screen the problem goes 
away. And, if I remember correctly, David's problem before happened to 
be caused by the search box in the toolbar, which was the last item in 
the toolbar.
