Fill and Stroke area flickers when rotating objects

[Thomas Mitterfellner]

In Inkscape 0.91pre4 r13712, when I rotate objects, the area on the lower left showing fill and stroke flickers. Furthermore, and probably this is even the cause, it seems somehow overlayed with an opacity input field (see screenshot).

Please add information about OS/platform to the bug description.

- Does the same happen with current stable 0.48.5?
- Did you compile Inkscape 0.91pre4 from source?
Information about build and/or runtime environment, and desktop theme for GTK2 applications might be useful too for further investigations.

I'm running it on OpenSUSE 13.2, KDE 4, oxygen-gtk theme. I complied it from source (tarball).
It doesn't flicker in Inkscape 0.48.5 r10040, but it did flicker in 0.48.4.
In all versions, the 'O:' label partially protrudes into the Opacity input field (Liberation Sans, 14 font), but I guess that's just cosmetics.

Actually, the Fill & Stroke part of the bottom bar wouldn't need to be updated/redrawn during rotation, only the info text.

Reproduced on Crunchbang Waldorf, Inkscape 0.48.3.1 and trunk rev. 13867.
The colors in the fill and stroke zone disappear while rotating an object, and show again when I stop.

Reproduced on Windows XP, Inkscape 0.48.3.1, 0.48.4, 0.91.x branch rev. 13714 and trunk rev. 13867.
Not reproduced with 0.47 and 0.48.5.

Note that the colors just flicker, but don't completely disappear when rotating.

Also note that the bug show when resizing and skewing the selection, but not when moving it.
