I have noticed that, when I'm in a dialogue with an NPC, the quest tracker will briefly flick on and off once, in between dialogue steps. I don't remember whether this happens all the time, or just during dialogues that affect quests. It hasn't bothered me enough to investigate it further.

It hides it back when the streaming is completed and the dialog options appeared. The Quest Tracker addon does not appear during conversations if I disable your addon.
Cheers
please help!

I've never used it, but from what you describe it seems there's no way you can fix this easily. It appears to have some arcane toggling logic, which is definitely not how it should be done. The correct way would be to wrap the widget in a scene fragment and add that only to scenes where you want to see it. Then it would never appear where it shouldn't, much less blink.

Tony, could you tell us the fix that Fyrakin has told you for the older verison? It should help to understand the code and see where one could maybe fix it for newer versions.

At the moment the quets log is not flickering anymore for me. But I'll have a closer look inside conversations.

go to the 6 page of the Wykkyd's Quest Tracker page to the first top comment

conversation started from that moment and continue between Fyrakin and wykkyd near two pages to the middle of 4th page

here is those solution worked before

Because there is nothing tracker needs is in this event, it is used for information interchange by requests, which are not part of this add-on. I tested this on my client tracker works fine with this line commented. No issues with blinking.

Ah, I see. Thanks.
Seems as if the event updated the quest tracker as you were talking too a quets giver and this way it flickered.
I'll have a look if it still flickers for me.
Any idea where it flickers with a 100% chance?

Exclamation

This happens for me all the time. In a lot of different instances, but it doesn't bother me so I ignore it.

It does not bother any functionality or break anything. It just blinks into focus for a millisecond when doing certain actions.

Relax, Wykkkid's QT will blink even if there are no other add-ons at all, it is made to be like this. QT updates (blinks) when there is some data comming about quest pins, that may happen anytime even when you are talking to npc which updates the quest, or enter the quest area which updates objective, or there are many other ors... Well, The only reason why QT listens to that event is because it returns selected or focused quest. This check could be done without it, be going through all the quest entries in set intervals of time, but that would lead to redundant cpu usage.

My advice would be get used to it, if you can't stop using it.
