Windows 10, LibreOffice 5.0.1.2 When autocomplete is used to complete an entry which already exists in the column, the text flickers. This happens even in very short lists. For example, type in separate rows: Potato Corn Bread Then in the next blank row type 'C'. Another example, type 'This is is a typing test' in a row and then type 'This is' is the next blank row. This really shows how bad the flickering is. Whilst the flickering in itself does not seem much of an issue, it is an important issue to people like myself who have a sensitivity to flickering. The flickering causes me a headache even after a short time. The flickering did not exist in LibreOffice 5.0.0.5.
I forgot to add that the flickering causes the autocomplete to run very slowly.
Are you saying it flickers constantly? Or only once per typed letter (true for me)? I also tried with 5.1 and there the flicker is almost non-existent. Could you try installing a build of 5.1 and giving it a shot: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86@62-merge-TDF/ It installs parallel to your stable LibO, so it won't mess anything up. Then you might decide whether you want to keep this open or close as resolved.

The flickering is once per typed letter. I installed a build of 5.1 and the flickering was not present. Given the health impact of the flickering, I would like to see the fix included in a 5.0.X release.
Ok let's set to NEW. Let's test with 5.0.2 when it comes out. The fix might already be in it.
The text does not flicker in 5.0.2 (Windows 10).
Cheers. I'll set to WFM, as I don't know what is the specific fix.
