Tearing

Just an aside more than anything else.

While developing Blokworld i have noticed th absence of tearing in windowed mode on my PC.

I was testing with vertical synch turned off and stuck Fraps on to see my frame rate. It was hitting 200 fps at times but there was no tearing at all visible.

Tearing is where the upper portion of the screen appears to update prior to the lower portion and you get a 'line' where the update is disjointed.

I do remember getting tearing at times when running in fullscreen mode, and the funny thing was that i had vertical synch turned on at the time.

Anyone got any ideas why i ahven't seen any tearing?
