Hope itâs okay to post this here:
Having the same issue, Mostly when comparing items. Today it happened as I simply moused over an item (See Video). Nothing I tried so far resolved the issue. To me it seems that the issue appears as soon as the âdescirption textâ is âtoo bigâ for my screen if that makes senseâŚ
The flickering in the video is a lot slower than âunrecordedâ though
exactly this behavior
Sorry about this! I havenât been able to reproduce this issue yet but weâll look into it.
@deadnegator I canât view that video-- perhaps you copied the code for embedding the video, rather than the general link for sharing? âembedâ codes are designed for when youâre creating your own website; the forum will automatically embed things if theyâre supported.
I checked again and I did not copy the embed code. Video doesnât work for me either though. I know for sure it worked when I posted it here. Hereâs the link again, hope it keeps working this time:

Worked for me & yes the flickering is annoying as fudge.
Yip⌠Same thing here⌠happens very often⌠irritating as hell but as it doesnt break anything I have learnt to live with it.
it happens i guess when item description on hover is attached to top border (maybe only happens in window mode.
I use full screen. but yes it could have something to do with screen edges⌠it happens every time with Boardmans unique like the one you are using⌠but does happen ad-hoc with a few others⌠Boardmans have quite long item comparisons⌠maybe the length of the item âtooltipâ vs the screen edge is the issueâŚ
To me, it looks as if there is both a âglue to topâ and a âglue to bottomâ functionality for the item detail window. They seem to be called alternately, and neither checks if the other was called before. Thus, the text âjumps up and downâ - from a one pixel-flicker up to a 5+ lines-flicker.
Two suggestions for an extension of the current implementation:
a) If a window was glued just before, end the repositioning thread
b) Use the âshrink text functionalityâ of the Ctrl-Alt window in a way that either generates even smaller print if window_Y > draw area_Y, or have it increase the window width in that case.
(There should be no items with details filling the whole screenâŚ)
You sound like a dev⌠
but yes, it does seem like an auto window alignment code snippet could be screwing up. There are a few screen resolution related issues like this so I am sure that once they know about it, they will get to itâŚ
