           Summary: New tabbar causes excessive repaints / screen motion

When the new tabbar icons change (reflecting a change in state in the display), there is a repaint. Similarly, when the tabbar is at the top, and the icon changes from normal (the screen icon) to the alert (the bell icon), the bottom of the window moves a little bit.

This is really distracting, and I don't remember it happening with the old tabbar. It does not occur if the tabbar is hidden - everything is fine.

To reproduce - move tabbar to top of konsole window, and fill window (eg, ps aux when running KDE :-). Now select a key (I used k), and press tab to auto-complete. This causes the screen to jump a bit.
