You are right, of course, that the presence of flicker may depend on various things, and my original message was too elliptic. I drawterm only to a virtual machine on the same computer. My setup: Mac Mini Late 2012 with 10.8.5. Virtual machine: Virtualbox 4.3.0, Bell Labs iso, 1024MB system memory, VT-x/AMD-V and Nested Paging on, 32 MB video memory, Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop bridged adapter en1 Wi-Fi (AirPort). Mountain Lion's DHCP server enabled. Drawterm for osx-x11 built from the current sources at http://code.google.com/p/drawterm/ Drawterm for osx-cocoa built from the current sources at https://bitbucket.org/jas/drawterm-cocoa In the cocoa version, when sweeping a rio window all borders will flicker continuously. On resizing with B1 or B2, in addition to the flicker, border lines will fail to meet or meet but not at the corner. All this independently of window size and sweep speed. When creating a new window in sam, three or all corners always break open a little. In the x11 version, when sweeping normally, there will be no flicker at any size, and, when sweeping quickly, flicker on one side only (the side where the mouse pointer is). I haven't seen border lines fail to meet or meet at the wrong place, whether in rio or in sam. Mark.
