> The good news: we shipped our differential renderer to everyone today. We rewrote our rendering system from scratch[1] and only ~1/3 of sessions see at least a flicker. Very, very few sessions see flickers in rapid succession which was so annoying before. Those numbers will keep dropping as people update.
I'm using the latest version and see terrible flicker in tmux still. You guys should be ashamed tbh.
How tall is your tmux pane? If it's very small it might still flicker as CC tries to redraw scrollback. I've noticed several tmux users have layouts where they stack several panes on top of each other making each one quite short.
Another option is to rebuild tmux from latest source so it buffers synchronized output, which should prevent the flicker entirely.
If you're still seeing a terrible flicker please file a `/bug`!
Thanks for your response.

It's full screen ("maximized" as tmux calls it).

I'll give it a shot.
I'm sorry for the low quality comment, but man, get some perspective.
> low quality comment
What else do you want me to say? It's ironic that one has to jump through hoops (like this post) to get basic functionality right in a tool that claims it'll replace software engineers.
Perspective is: how hard can it possibly be? It’s a TUI. This should be able to run on a calculator.
Am I missing some complexity here?
