I don't see this on my systems.  The resize arrow behaves exactly like
in other GUI applications, as far as the size of the region where it
appears is concerned, and it doesn't disappear, no matter how long I
leave it there, nor flickers while in that area.

It does for me.

Well, in that case, please provide a minimal setup to reproduce the
problem.  My crystal ball is obviously not powerful enough to guess.
