Description

When I trigger Albert with some previous input, it flashes, which is annoying:

Peek 2023-07-07 18-30

Expected behavior

I expect it to show the input box only first and then some content listed (after potentially some processing). But now the behavior is, showing some previous content, input box only, and finally, the updated content, which is the cause of the flashing.

Steps to reproduce

As in the screenshot.

Source

prebuilt version 0.21.1 on Debian 12


Run it from terminal with -d flag an see if you have an extension which takes that long to finish the query. Displaying the results is postponed a small timeframe (or query finish signal) to avoid flicker. but if this timeout exceeded the empty results are displayed. obviously the query takes pretty long to finish in your setup.

Seems abandoned.

Sorry for the late reply! Yes, I was using this plugin: https://github.com/TexDash/albert_brotab, which may take too long in the loading.

While, I found that it doesn't have this problem when I use the latest version v0.22.14. Thank you!
