    By proxy do you mean you have QProxyGraphicsProxyWidget ?

          There's no limit to how many can be in the scene and the scenes are likely to get complicated . Most likely there will be between ~10 and ~50 items at a time.

            Are you still experiencing that if you avoid the proxy widgets ?

                  Is the code accessible somewhere to be tested ?

                    Hi sorry for the late response. We figured out the problem. Within the paint function of the rectangle we were updating the line and this was causing an infinite paint loop. Thank you for your help!
