Clément 148 Posted September 14 Hi, Just upgraded to 12.2, and the installation completed without any errors. All my components are installed, everything is fine. I opened my latest project, and the code editor blinks for every key I press. Seems to be relate to an automated syntax check. Every key I type triggers a syntax checker (that pop's the error in the "Structure" window) blinks the entire code editor. *very* annoying Hopefully there's a checkbox to disable this. Any one experienced this? Is there away to disable it? Share this post Link to post

The tools I have right know didn't manage to capture correctly. I have to use my phone. https://www.dhs.com.br/downloads/IDE_12_2_Blink.mp4 Even with the phone, it quite don't show how annoying it is.. but every key blinks Share this post Link to post

I've tried Remote Desktop using single monitor and dual monitor ( my usual setup ). I have not changed anything in my connectivity. I just upgraded from 12.1 to 12.2 Edited September 14 by Clément Share this post Link to post
Uwe Raabe 2060 Posted September 14 OK, my setup is Windows (no VM) and IDE Light Theme and that doesn't show any blinking. Share this post Link to post
aehimself 396 Posted September 14 I'm only asking because the quick peek I took at Delphi 12.2 until now showed the same symptom. And I'm using RDP to access the machine Delphi is installed on, too. Share this post Link to post
Clément 148 Posted September 14 I just accessed the machine without VM and the code editor doesn't blink. Is there any special new settings for RDP access? Share this post Link to post

My colleagues and I planned to upgrade from 12.1 to 12.2 next week. Most of the time we access Delphi in the office through VPN and RDP. Most PCs with Delphi 12.1 installed are real, but there are also VMs. I didn't understand when the problem occurs Share this post Link to post

Most of the time we access Delphi in the office through VPN and RDP. Most PCs with Delphi 12.1 installed are real, but there are also VMs. I didn't understand when the problem occurs I can access my development machine in three ways. 1) Physically. I have access to the actual machine. 2) Remotely using VPN and RDP. 3) In the office, I use a physical machine with 2 VMs. One of those VM I'm using to open a VPN/RDP to access my development machine. After migrating to 12.2 I noticed some blinking when accessing my machine using the VM (method 3): There was the blinking. Using method 2 : blinking with method 1 no blinking at all. What's happening ( when using method 2 and 3) : As I type my code, some syntax check takes place. The code editor light ups a few areas of the IDE. For example, Red exclamation dots on the margins, the squirrels lines below invalid code, the structure windows displays the errors. During all that action, the lines in the code editor flashes very fast. And as I type the code to "resolve" the errors, the code editor blinks. It didn't happened with 12.1. I tried a few settings to optimize my RDP connection, but the blinking is still there. The optimization helped reducing a little. Edited September 17 by Clément 1 Share this post Link to post
gkobler 38 Posted September 17 I made som test with my mRemoteNG program. https://mremoteng.org/ I can't see any blinking code editor at my RDP connection. Share this post Link to post

FaFaFooey 6 Posted September 18 sounds like a hardware acceleration issue..can you try disabling it or updating the video drivers? Share this post Link to post

I'll give you it's an old machine/graphic card... the same I used with 12.1, 11.x, 10.x ... where there was no blink. Share this post Link to post

Kas Ob. 121 Posted September 23 What happen if Windows Service called "Theme" is stopped and disabled ? Will the flicking continue to exist with RDP ? Share this post Link to post

tgbs 16 Posted September 24 (edited) We were updated from 12.1 to 12.2. There is no problem with the RDP from real Windows and Linux machines to 12.2. 12.2 is on real and virtual machines. Edit: Forgot to say that 12.2 is on Windows 10 and 11 Edited September 24 by tgbs 1 Share this post Link to post
radekc 1 Posted October 3 I have same problem on RDP. Look like Flicker happens when CodeInsight show Done (maybe they need refressh window). CodeInsight is started every time a key is pressed. Disabling CodeInsigh (and Restart LSP) block flickering but I need LSP . Share this post Link to post
corneliusdavid 214 Posted October 4 I just want to share my similar setup (but with no problems): I also remotely access a physical Windows 11 machine via VPN/RDP. I upgraded from Delphi 12.1 to 12.2 a couple of weeks ago and have no problems with blinking. The only thing different is that in order to keep my main computer's internet connection for Teams meetings and personal email, I start up a VMWare machine and connect remotely from there. The VMWare machine is running Windows 10. So basically, it's like this: Windows 11 desktop (three monitors): VMWare virtual machine with Windows 10 on two of the monitors VPN/RDP -> Windows 11 with Delphi 12.2 Fast internet, fairly new hardware on both ends, all visual options on in RDP, works great.
