Offscreenonly is used to tell turing to draw only to the offscreen buffer until you use View.Update which tells it to draw everything to the screen at once. Pretty much like swapping buffers in OpenGL. The purpose of drawing this way is to reduce flickering in animations.

Have you been using View.ClipAdd or View.ClipAddOval?  
doing a simple mousewhere inside a loop should not crash if you click outside the run window.
