Flickering text with linum-relative

[Pireax]

Hello,

I really like this package but I have this issue where if I enable linum-relative sometimes the text will flicker when moving vertically. I found someone else who also had this issue and he had a video of it on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-V-qXoeZ1w.

@Pireax Do you have this issue when running linum-mode only ?

[Pireax]

No, it works fine using linum mode only.

Hmm... it's werid. linum-relative work on my MacOSX 10.10.5 with emacs 24.5.1 without flikering.
Which OS and emacs do you use ?

I found there's another flickering issue on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/2r89ny/

Yeah that actually the guy the video's from! I use Windows 8.1 with Emacs 24.5.

Can confirm, there's massive flickering on Windows when using linum-relative, any idea why? This seems to be the only package I have that causes emacs to flicker so much when scrolling.

// On my OSX machine there's no problem.

Also getting huge flickering, on Windows 10, using only the relative line numbering - normal line numbering with linum works fine. I also get this flickering when using the other popular relative line numbering package for Emacs.

I'm on Linux, considerable flickering with relative line numbers.

On Windows 7, also considerable flickering with relative line numbers.

This also happens to builtin relative linum in terminal emacs.

(setq display-line-numbers 'relative)

@amosbird Which operating system do you use when has flickering text issue with relative linum? Windows?

It's running in a remote CensOS 7 box. The host uses ssh and alacritty.
