OK. Just to make sure I have rebooted - iconbar certainly looks a lot
less congested now. I have checked Boot->config->Misc to make sure
lazy task switching is not disabled. Repeated your test and there is
definitely no flickering.
I have typed gibberish as fast as I can hit the keys, and also held
keys down to autorepeat many times. Task display slot is rock steady.
