Description schoenes-rad 2019-11-05 11:56:33 UTC 
After having upgraded to Fedora 23, the kmymoney window flickers heavily as soon as a DATE field has the focus.  Tested with Scheduled Transactions and Ledgers.  Happens with both existing and new transactions.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start kmymoney
2. Select Ledgers or Scheduled Transactions
3. Edit an existing or create a new transaction.  Click into the DATE area.


OBSERVED RESULT
Application window flickers heavily until one exits (Tab or Mouse) the DATE field area.

EXPECTED RESULT
Application window is not supposed to flicker.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora release 31
5.3.8-300.fc31.x86_64
(available in About System)
GNOME Version 3.34.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note that this behaviour got introduced only after Fedora 31 was installed.

Type in first line of description - Fedora release is 31, not RPT not 23.

I found two ways to circumvent the described behaviour.  The screen will NOT flicker when FEDORA is being started with either the GNOME ON XORG or the XFCE SESSION desktop selection (see enclosed image of login options available).

Consider my bug report as "works for me", however I think that KMyMoney with the GNOME environment should be inspected for the described phenomenon.
