Caveat: I haven't tried the demo, so I might be making a bad assumption here.
As I understand it, this is an attempt to respond to the concerns some people
have with scrolling making point-and-click RTTY (especially RTTY contesting)
difficult.
There are other ways to combat the scroll problem, some of which have been
incorporated into different programs, and they all have their pros and cons.
Different people may prefer different solutions.
While a number of people (including myself) seem to prefer point-and-click for
SO1R operation, I think once you start talking about SO2R, point-and-click
quickly becomes less desirable. Making a few contacts on the second radio
isn't too bad, but if you are aggressively making second radio contacts / doing
dueling CQ's, you will be moving your mouse back and forth across the screen a
LOT for point-and-click. Using the keyboard becomes the better option.

I tryed the demo and I think it will not work for SO2R at all. Imagine you are
doing dueling CQ. The mouse is always in movement between both DI's, so both
DI's will be almost always frozen.
I don't understand what is the reason to freeze the RX window. If something is
missing it will be better/faster just to ask for repeat instead to freeze the
window and to try to find missing info.
