Comment (by anevilyak):
Replying to [comment:3 bonefish]:
> When the stack trace is set to NULL, how about delaying the operation
for a short time (e.g. 0.5 s)? When stepping, in most cases a new stack
trace will be set long before the end of the delay. When running or
stepping into a syscall that waits, I don't think the small delay will
cause any confusion.
After digging into the flickering in the VariablesView, and also noticing
the same problem affects the step control buttons, a thought: it might
make more sense to actually adapt the above a bit, and have it done at the
level of the TeamWindow itself, rather than the stack trace view. That way
the state of the buttons won't flicker for a short single step, and also
the variables view won't flicker due to having its stack frame cleared
(which was also a missing step). The only problem then becomes notifying
them when we're in the wait state so they can guard against having items
clicked/selected during the delay window, but that should be
straightforward enough. Seem like a better plan?
