I guess it's the same thing that happens when you click the EER tabs; Workbench first shows the MySQL Model tab, then the tab you click. It should go directly to the clicked tab and not show the MySQL Model tab at all until you click it. Note: It seems to be on and off, this MySQL Model thing; I believe I've seen it before, but I don't see it in 5.2.15 now, while it's always like that in my 5.2.16 installation.

When exporting the SQL CREATE script, just before the resulting script is shown on the "Review Generated Script" page, Workbench shows the MySQL Model tab-page, then goes back to the selected tab-page, then shows the resulting script. I believe this is the same mechanism that causes the flickering. A follow-up to the previous post; I think the 5.2.15 also has this "show MySQL model tab-page before switching to the tab-page you selected" thing; it sometimes is too fast to see it.

I'm experiencing the same thing. VERY frustrating to see the constant flickering of the window when dragging a table in the EER Diagram window. Leif - thanks for the tips on how to temporarily solve this bug.

I have the same issue ... I believe this is only happening when you zoom out far enough to see the edges of the page. If I zoom in close enough to the diagram where I cannot see a page edge, there is no flashing. I also cannot see the edges of the page either no matter what zoom level, page layout, or size.

Please try if you still have this problem by using actual version Workbench 5.2.24 RC.

Using Wb 5.2.24 RC the flickering seems to be gone when I move the mouse over the tables and links. However, when clicking through my diagram tabs, Workbench still insists on showing the Model page before showing the page I actually clicked. Is that a totally unrelated issue?

Hello Leif, sorry for the delay. I am not really able to follow your last comment. > when clicking through my diagram tabs, Workbench still > insists on showing the Model page before showing the page > I actually clicked. Is that a totally unrelated issue? Do you maybe have a screenshot for me that allows me to follow you? Also we published Workbench 5.2.26 a few days ago. Would be nice, when you could test if this issue you describe above still exist in there.

Version 5.2.26 behaves the same; it shows the "MySQL Model" tab several times when it's not necessary. My model has around 50 tables and 7 diagrams. When opening the model, Wb first shows the MySQL Model tab, then my first diagram, then the MySQL Model tab again, then my second diagram, then the MySQL Model tab again and so on until it finally shows diagram number 7. When I click on the tabs for diagram 1, 2, 3 etc, Wb first shows the MySQL Model tab, then switches to the diagram I clicked. I guess this is a reason for a lot of the flickering, and hope we can get rid of this "On Mouse Click show the MySQL Model tab first, then do the requested task" behaviour.

Hello. The new WB version 5.2.34 is out (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/5.2.html). Can you please try with this new version and let us know the outcome? Thanks.

No change from version 5.2.33. The flickering when hovering over links I don't see any more, but when clicking through my EER diagram tabs, Workbench still shows the Model page before showing the page I actually clicked. It even happens for a model containing only two diagrams; I view diagram 1, then I click the tab for diagram 2, and Workbench first shows the Model Overview page before showing diagram 2.

Thats good to know Leif. Would you mind to open a separate defect for the remaining problem? Thank you very much for your report. Defect closed, fixed in previous version.
