The main thread does all the graphical stuff.  Perhaps the new
bulletin popping up is causing a problem with the map updating, or
perhaps there's some interaction with your window manager as far as
the new bulleting coming up.

Remind us what OS, version, and window manager you're using.  Maybe
somebody else has the same setup and can say whether they do/don't
have the same problem.
