GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 607480
Unpleasant flash/flickr when redrawing
Last modified: 2010-01-19 23:10:15 UTC
Hi I use gnome-terminal on a netbook, and usually in full-screen. I noticed something that started to irritate me a lot when working late at night :-P The screen "flash" when I switch my desktop to a workspace with a terminal. I think I tried with a compositor and it didn't happen. However, I don't usually run a compositor. I thought that might be the main window redrawing itself. I tried changing default background widget color to my terminal, and it indeed removed the flash/flicker perception. Is there a way we could avoid repainting the parent/main window of the terminal to avoid this effect? thanks
Probably a dup of vte bug 606655.
yes, probably, feel free to mark as dup. It's funny how the timing to report the bug is so close :)
Yeah, surprised me too :). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 606655 ***
