The workaround works for me in certain cases. I have some reports that 
include tables, that are too long to fit on my screen, and for those the 
flickering continues for a long time regardless of how I size the 
window. For the others, the flickering occurs for 1-3 cycles if the 
chart is larger than the window, and resumes again if I resize the 
window to smaller than the size of the chart.
