Hi
I've created a borderless NSWindow that is used to draw a grid (via
CALayer instances - each line is a CALayer instance). The window is
shown at the Screen Saver window level, thus overlapping everything.
In my tests there are 3 or 4 lines in either direction, i.e. we're not
talking about thousands of layers here.
When my grid window is being shown - and I move other applications
around underneath it, I see flickering of the grid image lines. To me
it looks like the shadow of a window (created via the window manager
of course) is overwriting my grid lines briefly, but they do get re-
drawn again.
To view this behaviour, check this link - I've created a movie to show
this. Of note is:
- the yellow line that appears is one of the layers
- it fades in/out
- it appears to be chopped in half, watch the differences between the
left hand portion of the line and the right hand, the redraw is
horizontally very uneven.

Each line is one layer CALayer instance, with a border width of 1 and
a filters property set to use a bloom.
Has anyone seen this kind of behaviour before? I'd appreciate any
tips that might lead to a solution I can share.
Thanks
