Attached screecast is how NB 8.2 behaves during evaluation of watch variables. In words - sporadically hardly flickers (i.e. completely redraws the "Debugging view" multiple times). Note - during expanding of arrays/maps the 'running/paused' icon auto-toggles all the time.

As far as I understand - technically this happens because threads are 'temporarily' resumed in target JVM to evaluate the variable, but ... there is no sense to redraw/recalculate/repaint threads view because they should stay at the same position (and they do stay) until process is resumed by user and therefore.
