Here's a way to see the flickering:
- start emacs with -daemon -Q
- open an X client (emacsclient -c)
- start composing a bug email, using report-emacs-bug
- open a terminal client (emacsclient -t), keeping the X one open
- go to the email buffer in the terminal client and modify it: every now
and then i can see its lines repainting if i move around, but not
always; a systematic way of making it flicker seems to be doing C-c
C-k and, when the yes/no prompt in the minibuffer appears, start
typing there.
HTH,
