this bug is NOT minor! user looking in GUI! the user does not need a flickering interface! your eyes is much more important to the user of a program.

ps: If you add new features, so to finish it to working condition

Anyone reproduces this also on Linux? 

Ideally with different plugins (kde, gtk, gtk3) and different DEs (KDE, GNOME, XFCE,...)

I confirm the flickering is gone in the places of the original report. Yet, if you enable Shadow and hover in the Distance list, it does flicker (it is quite a long list). The flickering is only noticed on Windows, not Linux and it is not very bad.

Should we keep this open?

Expanding the fill color picker and hoovering the different items is also flickering

@Miklos 
You're commits one avoiding flickering are really appreciated. This is probably another case. Especially comment 1 is quite annoying
Comment 19 V Stuart Foote 2019-06-18 14:37:47 UTC
Miklos' work on bug 101978 has fixed this as well (STR and Shadow of comment 14)

Worth noting that for the Color picker--the listbox text for selecting the palette no longer flickers, and it is 'just' the widget frame holding the graphic color swatches that still flickers--but maybe seems even more intense recent builds.
