Hi Zack,
thanks for your bug report. Nobody can force you to supply a patch -
it is perfectly fine to report a problem. Unfortunately the same is
true for me because I have no idea as well how to fix that problem.
So I report it to the upstream authors and hope that they will help
solving it. I will tag the bug "upstream,help" and probably I will
decrease the severity from "normal" to "minor".
Thanks for your bug report
Andreas.

Package: tipptrainer
Version: 0.6.0-13
Severity: normal
Every time one types a character in a tipptrainer lesson, the top half of the
window flashes (the half showing the text to be typed). At the beginning of
a lesson this effect is hard to see, but as you get farther and farther along
it gets worse and worse.
I have traced the problem to outputcontrol.cpp, TtOutputControl::highlightChar,
which calls ShowPosition() and SetInsertionPoint() every single time a
character is typed. I suspect that if this code were changed to call these
functions (and the surrounding Freeze()/Thaw()) only when the cursor should
move from one line to the next, the flashing would stop.
Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to tell when that happens, so I cannot
supply a patch.
