           Summary: konsole flickers on switching tabs
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: l.savernik at aon.at


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc-2.95.2 

Since konsole has been switched to support tabs, it severly flickers whenever switching between two tabs occurs.

This is especially appearent for sessions that have a colored background like midnight commander.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a mc.
2. Open another mc in the session next to the session in (1)
3. Switch between those sessions using Shift+right/left

Expected Results:
Switching goes smooth and fast

Actual Results:
For each switch, the background is cleared to white, then redrawn appropriately. This causes considerable flicker.

Bug 54230 seems to be related, however, it's not a duplicate.
