I would like to revive an old complaint that appears to have already
been made in 2011:

http://sourceforge.net/p/skim-app/mailman/message/27873499/

I'm on Mavericks, and my Skim version is 1.4.8 (82).

As with the previous poster, whenever I do "displayline -r" my whole
document does a really annoying flicker. The same flicker is triggered
by clicking on "File -> Revert."

It looks to me like a revert causes Skim to scroll to the top of the
document for just a fraction of a second, after which it scrolls back
down to where you were before. Indeed, if you do a revert from the
very top of the document then the flicker doesn't appear.

This should really be addressed, especially for us users who use
Skim.app for TeX typesetting on OS X. Windows has a PDF reader ---
called SumatraPDF --- that does synctex flawlessly and with no
flickering, but I'd really rather stay on OS X if I can.

I'm not familiar with how the internals of Skim are structured, but
I'm sharp with Cocoa and Obj-C. If anyone could perhaps give me a
pointer or two as a head start, then maybe I could try to fix the
issue myself.
