Description Jan Engelhardt 2006-03-26 11:23:13 UTC 
A possible follow-up to #105485:

I have observed some sort of flicker (it could be seen as such) - with the 80x25 install (also happens in X11 install IIRC). The attached video file (rec. with VMware) shows this:

bc-1.06 at 100%
binutils-2.15 at 100%
binutils-2.15 at 0%, 6%, 21%, 25%, 27%, etc.
coreutils-5.93 at 100%
coreutils-5.93 at 0%, etc.

This happens with every package. It seems like a screen update is done too early.

Sorry I cannot play that format here. What exactly does flicker? It's probably due to massive widget-updates, this problem is generally known.
Comment 3 Jan Engelhardt 2006-03-27 15:16:35 UTC 
As said, when a package is fully installed, the gauge is set to 0%, then a screen update happens (so we actually see the gauge going to 0%), and only then the new package name is displayed. So at best, we would just need to get rid of the screen update between changing the gauge's value and changing the package name labels.

Does an MEncoder-lavc-ffmpeg4 (`mencoder -ovc lavc`) encoded version help more than vmware-codec-coded one for you?

Reassigning to Jiri.
