Package: tipptrainer
Version: 0.6.0-13
Severity: normal

Every time one types a character in a tipptrainer lesson, the top half of the
window flashes (the half showing the text to be typed).  At the beginning of
a lesson this effect is hard to see, but as you get farther and farther along
it gets worse and worse.

I have traced the problem to outputcontrol.cpp, TtOutputControl::highlightChar,
which calls ShowPosition() and SetInsertionPoint() every single time a
character is typed.  I suspect that if this code were changed to call these
functions (and the surrounding Freeze()/Thaw()) only when the cursor should
move from one line to the next, the flashing would stop.

Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to tell when that happens, so I cannot
supply a patch.
