Description Martin Entlicher 2011-05-12 14:15:14 UTC

When a thread is suspended in debugger and the appropriate stack trace is displayed in Debugging View, every expression evaluation cause the stack traces to repaint. This makes the stack trace to flicker during the refresh.
It's usually enough to move mouse in the editor area and random evaluations will make the stack trace to flicker. This is distracting for users.
