Hi @jr0cket, I've tried to change my setup, fresh install, remove packages, nothing change. I'm installing a brew version right now. Two things for you: 1) your https://practicalli.github.io/spacemacs/os-specific-config/macosx.html (which is great by the way) tells to run brew install -cask emacs which is not working anymore, the "-cask" is not working anymore. 2) I tried your .spacemacs.d folder, which is great also, but I didn't figure out how to setup the variables I used to use: (osx :variables osx-use-option-as-meta nil) . This option is needed for some non us keyboard, I cannot key tilde or brackets keys without that option.... 😪. Thx in advance !

For reference, the (osx :variables ,,,) line would be added to the dotspacemacs layer section, along side the other layers used (helm, elisp, Clojure, git, etc)

The brew -cask approach was in the Spacemacs docs, so I'll check if it's been updated. Thanks for raising this.

Hmm, some magics happen there, my brew version of emacs seems to be already setup for my non us - mac os - keyboard. So, I don't need answer 2 anymore, only for curiosity.

brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport
brew install emacs-mac
brew link emacs-mac

My first tries with the above version are positive. It seems to stop the flickering issue, even if I need more time to check: the issue was not completely reproductible, or at least I did not understand the conditions...

Thank you for sharing, I'll add this as an approach to the book for Mac.

I used the same update on my imac and, after a while, I confirm I have no flickering any more with brew emacs-mac version.
