Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 44167
Tabs flash/blink as you pass over them

Open Format | Page Pass the mouse over the tabs. As you move along, two tabs flash/blink I think that either only one should flash, or better yet, that the tab over which you pass is highlighted and remains highlighted until you move to another tab. L
Which window manager/theme do you have? does it happen with all tab pages in all OOo applications? Try to check if it does not happen in other spplications.
I'm using XFCE's default window manager and its default theme. I tried Abiword and it doesn't exhibit this behaviour. Yes it happens in other OOo apps (Calc, for example). L

cd->pl: Looks like 44664 and maybe you can reproduce this behavior.
The problem is that we cannot know whether a theme has a highlight effect for mouse over or not, so we have to paint the tab that the mouse pointer leaves as well as the tab that the mouse pointer enters. On many themes this is completely unnecessary since they do not higlight the tab under the mouse pointer, but there is no way of knowing. I fear there is nothing we can do.
