Bug 93885

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Konqueror flickers too much, giving and impression it's buggy.

Among lots of causes I identified:
 - hold the keyboard down arrow, when it comes to the last icon it starts to flicker. IMHO there should be a special case that won't even update the view if it's the last item/no action possible.
 - fast mouse movement over icons (previews) change the highlight and it flickers often. It's better to delay the higlight than highlight just some parts.
 - in a folder with previews, when you enter or press reload, first it show the mime-type icon, then the preview. Since my computer is fast, it flickers.

Also, I noticed that there is less flicker than previous versions, but sometimes the view is not updated where it should, some I can't reproduce always, but they're most related to drag, tooltips and pop-up items.
   One of these happened when I was dragging an icon over the view top so it scrolls and then entered another folder (waiting with the dragged icon over a folder) then going back (waiting with the dragged icon over the up button), some parts of the view were not updated.

There is any hope to vanish with flickering? It's really annoying and makes your computer seem slow. Actually is better to be slow and feel fast (ie: no flicker) than being fast and flickering as hell.

Thanks for the good work.
