Attachments: UI Flickering using pen tablet to edit Multiline text in Ubuntu 14.04 Unity - Video

Description mvowada 2015-01-18 23:15:41 UTC 
I'm able to reproduce this issue only in Ubuntu Unity, not in Kubuntu, nor in Gnome.
In Ubuntu 14.04 Unity, using the pen tablet to create a Multiline text, it triggers a flickering of the cursor, the toolbars, the status bar and the Tool Options box (see video below).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag a new multiline text.
2. Stay with the cursor over the canvas area.

Actual Results:  
The cursor, toolbars, status bar and toolbox, start to flicker.

Expected Results:  
Should not blink.

Tested on Krita 2.9 Beta 2 using an Intuos 4 pen tablet.

Yes -- with my intuos 3 I see almost the same thing, only not so fast. Somehow, the system keeps switching between brush and text tool.

This also happens with the artistic text tool, btw.

We're working on a new text tool. The old text tool is now unmaintained and we won't be working on it anymore, so let's close all the text tool bugs.
