Unfortunately, this solution isn't working in this case. I've placed an
if/then to eliminate unnecessary updates and the panel still blinks. The
blinking always occurs -at- the change of numbers. Three or four changes will
go by without a blink, then the next dozen (or so), changes will blink the text
in the panels, along with portions of the bevel shading (usually the upper
part).
I've also noticed that the other panels seem to be added to the blinking in
procession. For example...
No blink (3 or 4 times)
Panel 4 blinks (2 or 3 times)
Panel 3 and 4 blink (2 or 3 times)
Panel 2, 3, and 4 blink (2 or 3 times)
Panel 1, 2, 3, and 4 blink (2 or 3 times)
No blink (3 or 4 times)
Etc.
It doesn't follow this pattern every cycle, but it is usually similar.
Judging by the number of Email responses asking "Does the if/then fix work?" I
think I'm not alone in this. I apologise for not responding to each of you,
but there were just too many messages, so I'm posting your answer here.
"Unfortunately, no."
