To recreate this bug you must follow the next steps:

1. Open any PDF with hyperlinks
2. Select in the menu Edit>Fullscreen or press the F11 key
3. Hover the mouse over any hyperlink in the text

Result: the screen start flashing

After a couple of test I discover that the problem is not evince but the Compiz Effects, when I deactivate Compiz the bug dissapear.

I hope this helps

I also experience this issue with SMPlayer watching a video in full screen mode and moving the mouse over the floating control.... This only happens when Compiz is enabled....
