It seems xim support in GTK3 is known to be buggy and GTK upstream say:

the recommended fix is not to use xim

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/2560#note_757143

Support for xim has been removed completely in the development branch
which is leading to GTK4:

support for the xim input method has been removed in favor of IBus

Examples of flickering things are wxWidget's scroll and the ribbon sample.

The upstream ticket has been in state "infoneeded_new" for more than 3
weeks requesting you explain how to reproduce this in the "scroll"
sample - so far without response.  Tagging this "unreproducible" which
roughly matches the upstream status, and because neither Scott nor
myself seem to be able to reproduce this based on the information you've
so far provided.

Unfortunately not. But thanks for the heads up: A spambot that has run
wild has flooded my inbox with one mail every 90 seconds and I therefore
didn't see the answer to my bug report there.

Kind regards,

Do either of the suggestions pcor makes on the upstream ticket help?

Bug#934386: wxScrolled flickers when the horizontal scrollbar is active and GTK3 is used

2019-08-10 Thread Gunter Königsmann
Package: libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5
Version: 3.0.4+dfsg-9

If something is drawn by wxWidgets and is horizontally scrollable if wxWidgets 
uses GTK3 it is likely to flicker on redraw.

Upstream bug report: https://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/18462. The problem is 
reproducible by the maintainer of wxWidgets. It doesn't happen in wxWidgets3.1, 
which (as it is a development version) isn't packaged with debian.
