GUI flickers to the point that editing becomes impossible when I have 2 windows of LO open, one on primary and one on secondary display. 

1. Open a new window of LO on external monitor.
2. Try to edit text in new window while the old window on primary laptop screen is still open.
3. The new LO window flickers & cursor jumps away every time a letter is typed. Editing in the old window on primary screen works just fine.

Hello finkyfunk,
I was unable to reproduce the bug on a Windows 11 machine. A Linux tester may have to take a look.

Have you tested in a Wayland session?
