      I have tested this in both stable and beta, and I am having the same issue, the screen will suddenly flash like the browser window is being redrawn and I will temporarily lose focus on what I am typing, and then it all goes back to normal, It started months ago.

      It doesn't appear to happen in Google chrome or Internet Explorer.

      What should I be looking at

      I am running windows 8.1

      Any help would be appreciated as it is really irritating

      Thanks Nigel T

              Disable all your extensions as see if that fixes it. If it does then re-enable them one at a time until it starts doing it again. Little bit of trial and error and you should have it narrowed down pretty quickly.

                Well i disabled all extensions and that fixed it, I have given it a week to make sure the problem doesn't re-occur before responding to the thread here.

                So it must have been one of my extensions, I haven't re-enabled them as I have found I don't really miss them at this point

                Thanks

                  Same problem here.

                  I have adblock and Google calendar too. I think it is the calendar, as everybody are using adblock and only few people have this problem.

                    Same problem here (2).

                    Google calendar, adblock plus and disconnect. My bet is google calendar, will disable for a while.

                        Disabling the Windscibe VPN extension did the trick for me
