[Bug 1238626] Re: flickers when changing the date

 

Sometimes (especially if I double click on a day number) there's a back
and forth highlighting with the current day.

E.g. today is the 16th.  I highlight the 11th.  Then I double click on
18th.  There's an 18->16->18 flicker.

If I walk to a different month, for the duration of the flicker the
whole calendar layout is briefly repainted to show today's calendar, and
then goes back to the desired y/m/d.  Terribly strange in combination
with bug 1240251 (the widget not opening at today, and offering no way
to jump there either).
