Dark mode: cursor flickers on the file icon when pressing ctrl+c and ctrl+x or F5 and F6

If you set “cursor color” in the color options and disable “Use Windows theme for cursor” and enable “Use inverted selection”, then with ctrl+c and ctrl+x or F5 and F6 the cursor flickers on the file icon (selected object). This problem is probably related to the "FileTipWindowsOnIcon" option. Strange behavior... first it selects the file icon and then only the cursor to the full width (this was noticed in a split second).

Split into a separate bug report from this post: viewtopic.php?p=443141#p443141

I don't think I can do anything about the flickering, it just means that the lines are getting updated.

This isn't really a bug. What happens is that
1. Total Commander sees that nothing is selected when you press Ctrl+C
2. It selects the file under the cursor so it has something to copy
3. It copies the selected files/folders to the clipboard (which would be the one just selected)
4. It removes the selection to revert back to step 1

Now the icon gets redrawn immediately while the rest of the line gets redrawn in a WM_DRAWITEM message - but it gets unselected so fast that the text background remains black. When you press F5 (your second animation) there is enough time to redraw the entire line.
