Yes! It is an add-on, but not an extension. The problem in bug #662871 -- flickering in the Data Manager -- is caused by the Default theme of SeaMonkey. I launched SeaMonkey in Safe Mode. There was no flickering. I checked the Add-ons Manager and noticed ALL themes were disabled. I relaunched SeaMonkey and enabled the Modern Theme. (I think Modern is ugly, which is why I was using Default. Please don't start defending Modern: There is no disputing taste.) There was no flickering. I then enabled Default, and the flickering returned. I have updated bug #662871 accordingly. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
