Description Ioram Gordadze CLA 2017-07-29 16:22:09 EDT 
Editor is flickering on new line.

Tested with Ubuntu v17.04 (Zesty), Gnome v3.24.2, Eclipse v4.7.0 (Oxygen).

This problem is also posted on askubuntu.com and stackoverflow.com:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/820050/eclipse-flickering-on-new-line
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41147840/eclipse-flickering-on-new-line 

In my opinion this bug is not critical, but it is very annoying during development process.

Which editor?

Do you also see it in the Eclipse text editor?
Comment 2 Ioram Gordadze CLA 2017-07-31 05:59:32 EDT 
I have tested this bug in the java editor, c++ editor and eclipse text editor.

All this three editors are flickering on a new line.
