In this case, it happens with the Raize font: http://www.raize.com/devtools/tools/rzfont.asp How to reproduce: - extract raize_font_linux-1.0.tar.gz into the ~/.fonts directory - emacs -Q - set Raize as the default font - visit an Emacs Lisp file - M-x hl-line-mode - move up and down by lines: screen flickers Interestingly, it doesn't happen with the Fixed 9x15 font, which is similar. Disabling Font Lock does not fix the issue, therefore HL Line mode must be the cause. I've read other reports of Emacs flickering, but they seem unrelated.
