Description:
The mouse pointer flicker heavily between mouse pointer an text cursor, when moving it across the SQL editor. Also, CPU usage is increased from a few percent to around 25% (when moving the mouse pointer across the SQL editor). CPU usage almost instantly drops when I stop moving the mouse.
This is the system info from one of my computers having this issue:

NOTE:
This issue seems to be hardware specific, since it doesn't affect all systems. So far I've tried three different computers: a Desktop, a Lenovo T520 laptop and a Dell laptop. I'm able to reproduce the error on the two laptops. The laptops both have an Intel HD graphic chip, while the desktop has a graphic chip from AMD. This is hardly conclusive evidence, but I figured I mention it anyway.
How to repeat:
1. Start MySQL Workbench
2. Connect to a MySQL server
3. Move the mouse over the query editor
