gemini-cli - 💡(How to fix) Fix Screen is blinking during active usage in terminal [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The blinking screen issue during work-in-progress updates in the terminal may be related to the rendering of model thoughts/answers/updates and simultaneous user typing, and a potential fix could involve optimizing the update rendering process.

Guidance

• Investigate the rendering logic for model thoughts/answers/updates to identify potential causes of the blinking screen, such as excessive re-renders or inefficient DOM updates.
• Consider implementing a debouncing or throttling mechanism to limit the frequency of updates and reduce the load on the terminal.
• Review the terminal settings and configuration to ensure that there are no conflicting settings or plugins that could be contributing to the issue.
• Test the application with different terminal backgrounds and settings to see if the issue is specific to certain configurations.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more information about the rendering logic and terminal configuration.

Notes

The provided information suggests that the issue may be related to the specific terminal setup and configuration, and further investigation is needed to determine the root cause. Additionally, the issue may be specific to certain models or update scenarios.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a debouncing or throttling mechanism to limit the frequency of updates and reduce the load on the terminal, as this may help mitigate the blinking screen issue.
