| While resizing a Double-Buffered Window which contains a png image(with alpha), the whole window flickers.
I noticed that it only occurs with some Window Managers in Linux: Xfwm and Openbox.
This forum thread explains the issue in details:

| "Brooks" sent me the following info via email, unable to post it
due to ISP issues:
"""
I have confirmed [the flicker problem] extends beyond the
report listed here [in Comment #1 of STR#3001].
"""
..and includes the attached problem_demo.cxx code,
which has notes in the comments alluding to the suspect issue.
Paraphrasing those comments here:
~~~
Altering the Fl::visual() seems to not affect the flicker issue.
e.g. FL_DOUBLE|FL_RGB vs. FL_DOUBLE|FL_INDEX.
The flicker seems to be caused by something happening
when "plastic" or "gtk+" schemes are enabled.
This happens on BusenLabs Linux (openbox window manager)
Compiled a test app using standard libgtk2.0-dev for GUI
and no flicker.

| More Info...
Resize not only flickers, but glitches, with random/corrupt visuals on the window during resize. (glitch1.png and glitch2.png happen during resize and normal.png is when resize is completed)
Hardware is...
BunsenLabs Linux with OpenBox window manager
Nvidia/AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250
Some Progress...
I recompiled the FLTK source code and I disabled XDBE
--disable-xdbe
This eliminates the Flicker and Glitches.
I thought I read that XDBE being enabled fixes issues on other systems,
if so this is not a good solution, only a fix for one particular system. | |

| This does not occur on MacOS. I'd say that this is specific to x11 or even a specific window manager on X11. | |

This issue has been fixed in FLTK 1.4.0 because unreliable Xdbe support has been removed entirely (Nov 26, 2021).
