Description Dan Evans 2009-03-25 11:59:07 UTC

(using r4875)

I've seen this 3 times now:  after some amount of time playing music, the Now Playing screensaver begins flickering at a regularly interval. (about 2 or 3 times per second.)  Some sort of screen update snafu?

Correction:

I thought it was the screensaver that was flickering.  It's the entire UI now-- any menu I navigate to.  Not sure if this is software or hardware.

Showed this to Maurice and his judgment is this is a software flicker.

Comment 3 Ross Levine 2009-03-25 12:22:52 UTC

When I saw the screen flicker issue it seems to be anytime there is new data being printed to the screen. In other words, when you browse through menus it flickers, but hesitate at any menu and it will not flicker. The screen saver is constantly printing new data, so it will flicker the most.
