I am not experiencing this using a Debian Jessie stock install of the emacs24-lucid package. It uses the Lucid toolkit instead of GTK. You might give it an install and test to see if it flashes for you or not. I find the Lucid emacs avoids some annoyances of the GTK emacs and therefore it is the normal one for me. Bob
