Description Billy Biggs CLA 2005-05-30 11:33:18 EDT 
3.1RC1

1. Open a java editor
2. Help > Dynamic Help
3. Click around on different lines in the Java editor.  With each click, the
headings in the Help view flicker annoyingly.

The cause is the calls to setRedraw() done in
SharedScrolledComposite.reflow(boolean).  These were added in revision 1.17 of
this file, but there is no comment.  Why were they added?
Comment 1 Dejan Glozic CLA 2005-05-30 11:54:41 EDT 
Probably to avoid flicker during reflow :-).
Comment 2 Billy Biggs CLA 2005-06-01 10:49:27 EDT 
Can it be avoided if nothing has changed?
Comment 3 Adam Archer CLA 2008-06-11 12:50:11 EDT 
Could not reproduce on 3.4 RC3. When clicking around I did not see any flicker of the headings.

Billy, do you still see this problem on recent versions?
Comment 4 Adam Archer CLA 2008-06-17 13:31:43 EDT 
Closing as WORKSFORME. Please reopen if this is still occurring post 3.4 RC4.
