Same when you change frames, you are trying to scrub to the correct frame but it starts re-rendering as soon as you change the frame, so if you select the wrong frame you cant change it until the system lets up. Also it shouldn't re-render when interactive mode is off no matter what, anytime, unless I ask it too. But it does.

This is really annoying.

It would be great to introduce a delay ( that can tweak in the prefs ) between the moment you change a value in a sahder or a render parameter and the start of the render itself.
Sometimes you want to change more than 1 value at the time but the render start too quickly. ( I know I can use f5 and I can switch off interactive update ) But I like Interactive Render.


Another thing when you open the render options windows the render restart. Sometimes it s annoying and I don't see the point to restart a render when you didn't have touched yet any parameter.
