It's now better than the initial state of the bug tho: flickering isn't as frequent and seems to require more load to manifest, it's also mostly inconsistent. The only consistent part seems to be that, right after the big shaken cursor goes back to normal, there's a frame or two of black screen. The maximum flickering frequency seems to twice as low: two frames normal, two frames black. These numbers are not rigorous, but eyeballed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
