Is there anyway of making the width wider or making it more obvious which window has focus (eg change the colour of the felt of the table that has focus) I don't want to buy table ninja just for this option

Players would have to play equal amount of big blinds IF they have >$0 on table. (Obv if they go bust in the first hand they're allowed to leave without reloading.)
It's still massively common to get grimstarred or delay-grimmed if software awards button for the player who is sitting already. They play like 5 buttons and 4 big blinds and sit out after realizing it wasn't 100% fish who sat down.
EDIT: Not playing equal amount of big blinds is the equivalent of two soccer teams getting unequal amount of attempts in a penalty shootout. If attempts were 5/4, the other has a significant advantage. With 101/100 that advantage would be much slimmer percentage wise, but still unfair. With 1/0 (straight out grimstarring) it's impossible for other player (big blind) to win. This happens often on FTP where the already sitting player starts with button.

Thanks to all for these suggestions, I will forward to the relevant teams.

I made a revert to PS6, and everything was fine there...
So I'm a bit scared when you can't play on ps6 after the next update, hope the lag is gone then or I can't play anymore.
We expect to have performance improvements in the Mac client with the next updates coming this week and next week.

Any idea what's causing this?
OS: Win 7 Professional installed on Mac Mini via Bootcamp.
I’ve never seen or heard of that with PS7, but have forwarded your report to QA for further investigation, thanks.

Recap - After hand has finished, it does not show in 'Instant hand history' and also does not save to the local Hand History folder. Seems to be losing roughly 10% of hands played, so quite a significant amount. Thanks.
This issue was fixed last month. It’s possible that either you haven’t updated your client, or that the solution hasn’t been deployed on all clients (though if that’s the case it will be with the updates coming this week and next week). Please let me know which build number you are using (Help > About PokerStars).

Thanks for your comments. We are constantly working to improve the performance of PS7, both overall and relative to PS6. Each client update over the next few months should see progressive improvement in this area.

The last time i updated 3rd party software was like 3 weeks or so ago....
I use PS7 client btw, only play Spins, other friends i know have this happen in HUSNGs as well..
The only time i experienced those freezes in the past were, when massiv allinshoot outs started... then my tables regullary froze, yet continued when the situation got normal again... maybe you wanna look into that, since you run those shootouts all the time atm if that might correlate....
OR... Stars is under a DDOS attack ...

Yes 3rd party tools make it freeze, but when my latest PT4 update was on December 3rd officially ( updated ~ December 15th), and my first frozen table issue occurred 13th or 14th January, and between these dates I have played approx 3000 sng tournaments, I don't believe issue is 100% 3rd party tools, but given these facts I believe it underlies in Pokerstars.

That’s correct. After our server restart last week, some third-party tools started malfunctioning. PokerStars does not test its software against any third-party tools, so neither we nor the vendors were aware of the incompatibility until users of the tools reported a problem.

Many players have reported table-freezing due to problems with PokerTracker or Hold’em Manager. To solve them, you will need to follow the instructions from those vendors. Here is a note from PT:

Thanks for your suggestion. It is already in our plans to offer the country code as an alternative, but at this time I don’t have a date for deployment.
