Re-enabling Auto Recalc Recalculates All Transformations - Not Just Pink-Marked Dependencies
To reproduce this issue, see the attached workspace.
1. Run PWP 8.0.556
2. Load the attached workspace
3. Within this workspace, double-click on thumbnail 6 (Linear Gradient) to open the transformation for editing
4. Click on the Auto Recalc toggle button to disable Auto Recalc
5. Make a change to the Linear Gradient transformation
6. Click OK to close the edited Linear Gradient transformation
7. Note that only the dependent thumbnail 7 is highlighted with pink
8. Click on the Auto Recalc toggle button to re-enable Auto Recalc
9. Note that significant processing time is spent recalculating the non-dependent thumbnail 5.
A couple of other issues:
Absent mindedly toggling the Auto Recalc off and on forces the entire workspace to be recalculated.
Also, in the help file, the end of the second paragraph in the Auto Recalc section has an incomplete edit ("may not be updated with the correctly.").
