Bug Description

I have changed from wall to cube + rotate plugin.

When I change viewport then just before (at; after) end of animations blinks (for a fraction of a second) the previous viewport.

It is not tragic but really not nice. If not fixed I will change back to wall probably.

The flicker appears only with "cube" not with "wall".

That is why I!m not sure it is a duplicate bug.

I also only have this bug with the cube. The wall does not flicker and acts smoothly.
