I tried to create a simple countdown timer using gif images. It works fine, unless I add the line,
Process, priority, , High
This is very strange. If I add that line, the pictures seem to overlap. Say it starts at 30. When it changes to 29, there's still a 3 behind the 2. It does not do this without Process, priority, , High.
Here's a zip file with code and gif images included.
Here's the code:

All I can go by is assumptions... I assume Autohotkey uses automatic garbage removal, and that with a priority as high as Task Manager itself, it might be having difficulty removing the previous images. I might be blowing smoke (not totally sure) but it's the first idea to come to my mind. Try process Above Normal, and process Real Time. See if they do the same. Whenever a process is to highly prioritized, another process gets taken away from. If your mouse flickers and skips in a game, turn DOWN the game's priority... Mouse functions will go back to normal most times.
