We've pushed a new 0.5.1 beta which should improve general parser performance as well as help with the flickering issue. You can get this beta here:
http://ubiquity.mozilla.com/xpi/ubiquity-latest-beta.xpi (Note: for techinical reasons it's called 0.5pre7.) I would love to know if this helps improves the behavior. mitcho, Labs On Jul 14, 4:47 pm, "mitcho (Michael 芳貴 Erlewine)" <[email protected]> wrote: > We're actively working on these issues for 0.5.1.
