In the TestFlicker.java, you can try changing the code : 
Shell shell = new Shell(display, SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT | SWT.SHELL_TRIM); to 
Shell shell = new Shell(display, SWT.SHELL_TRIM);
and see that the flickering is being caused only in the RTL mode.

I see this problem on several application on bidi machines (windows explorer for example), as far as I know this is a problem in windows and there isn't much we can do.

Lina, do you have any insight on this problem ?

Yes, it seems like a native problem. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any workaround for it at this point.

Closing as not Eclipse.
