I turned minimal_ui back on since I think its worth the effort to figure this out. This time (without changing any settings) I havent had any unit movement lag and I havent had the pause ctrl-t problems. I havent got any ideas what the difference is yet. I tried re-setting some hot-keys as mentioned by "the insane one" but couldnt find any that werent in use except F2 (I think) so I re-set the keys back to default. Other than that I havent changed anything. The other odd thing is that my war elephants worked fine and showed none of the problems mentioned in the other thread.
