Description Justin Zobel 2026-02-06 01:59:05 UTC
SUMMARY
If you are scanning (likely) white pages using the automatic document feeder, they flash up on the screen quickly and then disappear. This causes a flashing effect which could be a big issue for anyone with epilepsy or other eyesight issues.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Scan multiple documents that are mostly white (e.g on white paper)

OBSERVED RESULT
Each page flashes up on the screen very briefly

EXPECTED RESULT
Pages are not displayed in the main area like a flash

I had to manually write this as the about dialog doesn't have a copy/paste.
