--- Comment #3 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu)

The switch between top and bottom is related to formula name autocomplete
suggestion (top) vs argument documentation (bottom). I agree it is seems
unnecessarily distracting at first, but I can see how separating them would be
useful for some improvement of the tooltip behaviour: showing function
suggestion at the same time as showing argument documentation (because
sometimes, an argument will be another function).
- This is what OnlyOffice does: suggests functions underneath (in a scrollable
list), while argument documentation is above (single-line, stays visible).
- Google Sheets and Office 365 (online) show both function suggestion list and
argument documentation below (both are not single-line).

What do you think? I think we should adopt OnlyOffice's behaviour – but this
should be a separate enhancement request.

However, I do agree that the flickering should be fixed, no need to show the
canvas behind before repainting the tooltip. And it touches on accessibility,
for users sensitive to motion / flashing.

Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 53c5d570cab036b23f4969b858a648c8f0c24f93
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

Flickering not reproduced (or a lot less noticeable) with gen or kf5 VCL
plugins.

Let's focus on just flickering here, Jeff?
