solved [TC 10.50b4 x64 and newer] Flickering of main window when using breadcrumb bar

[petermad]

Ever since TC 10.50b4 the whole TC window flickers (goes in and out of focus) when the "breadcrumb bar" is enabled and I move the mouse between the folders in the "current directory" bar.

To see the problem "Auto-open when moving mouse over it" has to be enabled in the "Layout" configuration

It is only 64 bit TC that has the problem, and the problem was not there in TC10.50b3

It seems to be because in 64 bit TC the main window is not active when the bredcrumb is open, but in 32bit it is (the titlebar is in active state).

Not confirmed. I don't see any flickering (Windows 11).

You need to have set up your Windows to show the Title bar in different colors for active and inactive windows.
See: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/titlebarcolorssetting.png

In Windows 10 where the borders of the window are only a line it is not so pronounced - here it is only the title bar that flickers

I is more pronounced in Windows 7 where the borders also flickers:
