The scrollbar on the right keeps flickering whenever I'm typing Chinese with an IME. This isn't a new issue; it's been happening for a long time, and I used to ignore it. However, the constant flickering in my peripheral vision can be distracting when I'm trying to focus, so I figured it was finally time to report it. Fixing this would definitely improve the user experience. Hope you can look into it.

Re: The scrollbar keeps flickering when typing
Small discussion about this bug in the github https://github.com/Alexey-T/CudaText/issues/6267 , but we cannot find the reason yet, bug happens randomly.
Re: The scrollbar keeps flickering when typing
There is a function:
Auto-show auto-completion after typing N word-chars (0: disabled).
Option is (mostly) for lexer-specific configs.
This function will also lead the scrollbar to flicker.
Is it because of the small pop-up window?

Re: The scrollbar keeps flickering when typing
I don't see this problem on Linux-gtk2 version, and I will return to Windows pc only later, in n months.
on this linux version, I have LSP with 'pylsp' server configured, I type chars (or I setup for python: "autocomplete_autoshow_chars": 2 , and then i type chars). and I don't see the flickering of the custom-painted scrollbar.

I captured a GIF picture.
When I type word "click" between script and script, the scrollbar will flicker.
Please refer to the attached gif file.

Re: The scrollbar keeps flickering when typing
yes, I got some other person's windows 10 pc, and tested, i can see this flicker when in HTML file autocompletion is called for e.g.
<im
maybe it will help to to find the reason.
