Description:
The source editor flashes in a headache inducing way every time a new tab is selected, either directly or via other means (e.g. control-click on a symbol).
Steps to reproduce:
When Lazarus first starts with a few tabs open, one can switch between them and this problem never occurs.
However, as soon as a new tab is created (by opening a new file for example) the selection of a different open tab is usually accompanied by a bright flash (made even more obvious by my use of the Twilight theme but it happens regardless of the theme in use).
The problem can be stopped temporarily by restarting Lazarus but it returns as soon as the editor opens a new tab.
Additional information:
I'm guessing there's a "error status flag" somewhere in the UI that is being erroneously set to cause this (otherwise intentional) flashing behaviour to occur.
Can this flash be disabled via the UI settings somehow? If not I think even if this bug is fixed it would be good to allow the "flash on error" behaviour to be disabled via a user preference. Sorry if I've missed some obvious configuration option somewhere if it already is possible to do this. If so, how do it do it?
I've marked this one minor but it really does induce a headache after a few hours of working with it so it's not so minor from this poor user's point of view :-(
