I see that too, also when moving between messages in the preview panel.

gtkhtml patch

for gtkhtml;

I realized I cannot do much when opening a reply, the GtkHTML is frozen in that time, so it doesn't paint. I draw with bgColor at least, to not have black area but some sane, so it doesn't flash that much.

With respect of black-flashing in message preview panel when moving between mails, I removed some functions which prevented painting on certain circumstances. It seems to do it for me.
