    Hi,

    You need to give more information about your device, its screen, etc.

    Also, how are you starting your application ?
    Are you using something like Wayland ?
    What parameters are you using ?

          Could it be that you have the tty cursor that is blinking through your UI ?

            I have disabled the tty cursor. Still, I could see flickering on UI.
            Below is the code, I have commented

                I am not able to attach the video in this forum. I am getting below error
                481e561b-587e-448d-9167-f1e4e39396fa-image.png

                So, I am attaching the image
                Flickering_Image_1.png

                Please refer to the attached image where the image in top right corner is the image of previous screen. It is displaying in fraction of seconds and goes off., and this flickering happens continuously

                    @Praveen-Illa add 10ms or maybe 5ms delay to this widget display to see if it helps. Also you need to call update explicitly if this widget is customized. Qt widgets update is not very clean on touch screen.

                        Do you have the same issue with a minimal default application ?

                          @SGaist Thank you for your response
                          I have resolved this issue by changing the graphics driver.
                          I am attaching the link below for others who are facing this kind of problem.
