Can confirm on an earlier version of 0.13 (I forget which), but the actual FPS drop can be explained by the game having to render an additional viewport.

Thanks for the confirmation. It is a nit picky issues, but I felt the need to bug it as you shouldn't be having performance issue in general (bad user experience). It limits the feature to being a preview for train re-coloring (If this is the intended feature, zooming should be disabled). I assumed that is what they were aiming for as it switches to that view when clicking the color tab.

I experience no such performance loss on my computer which means it's just the hardware on your computer not being able to keep up.

There's no bug here.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

I consider myself to have quite a decent PC (posted above) and even with the settings at the lowest, the issue occurs.

As I said, this can't really be fixed because the nature of the camera necessaitates the rendering of a seperate viewpoint, which adds quite a lot of time onto the render loop. I personally agree with the "Not a bug" category, if not "Won't fix".
