Thanks for testing! It appears that the problem was triggered by my config in some very unexpected way. I managed to narrow down the reproducer with the following minimal configuration: ~/.emacs.d/init.el ----------------------- (require 'server) (unless (server-running-p) (server-start)) (setenv "DISPLAY" ":0.0") (define-key input-decode-map (kbd "C-[") [C-\[]) ------------------------------ With this exact init.el, trying to run (let ((process-connection-type nil)) (start-process-shell-command "1" nil "xdg-open ~/.bashrc")) triggers flickering/Emacs crash. I am pretty sure that it is some kind of weird Emacs bug. Best, Ihor
