ID 200196 - Viewer - Mousing over viewer causes playback to stutter/stop

Follow

Problem Summary
Moving the mouse cursor over the viewer causes the playback to stutter/stop during the mouse movement. It slows down to a complete stop if you move the cursor in a steady movement.
 
This appears to be an issue on El Capitan, as Yosemite did not show the same problem, nor did Windows.
