I don't have/use Wayland here, so I am shooting in the dark.

To see if it is a KMyMoney problem, I like you to build from master and set the ENABLE_UNFINISHEDFEATURES to ON during cmake.

This will build KMyMoney with additional code for the new ledger which uses a different method for date input. Once build and installed you will see a new view in the left pane at the bottom (New ledger). Select it and open a checking account (favorite accounts should already be open if you select the view). Select a transaction and double-click it. This will open the transaction editor and place the focus on the date edit widget. Does it also flicker on Wayland?

Beware: this code is far from being production ready. Crashes are very likely. Don't use it on your valuable data.

Thomas
