I can see this too, regardless of color theme.

Since the tabbed layout is the default, is there some way we can make it work the way it is now without flashing the focus? I think that would be preferable to showing more panes simultaneously, information overload, especially if someone is mostly interested in working in the command window, not the editor.

I can confirm this only when the editor is tabbed behind the console window.

The debugged function is automatically shown in the editor with a marker at the actual breakpoint. At a dbnext the editor is shown without focus (even it was hidden before) and if the editor is tabbed behind the console this leads to the flashing since the console keeps the focus.

Should we tile the both windows in this case (if possible) or make the editor floating?

I have a dark GUI color scheme where the Command Window is black and the text is white. When I try to do debugging in the Command Window, as opposed to the Editor tab, I get a screen flash every time I advance an instruction.

Sample session:

It appears that the window is being switched away momentarily from the Command Window to something else and then back again.
