Bug Description
Environment: Ubuntu 18.04 development branch;
GTK-3 version: 3.22;
For almost all gtk3-based text editor, such as gedit, pluma, mousepad. There is textview flashing issue when the textview doesn't have its side-scrollbar. Typically, short text in textview can make this condition satisified.
1) Editor textview flashing problem only happens in OS physical hosts, and doesn't happen when editors run inside Virtualbox.
2) Editor textview flashing problem doesn't happen in Ubuntu 16.04 which is of lower gtk3 version;
3) If text document is long to generate either side of scrollbar for the editor textview, then the textview is no longer flashing.

Still, I just ensure that it is not a pluma issue but happens in all gtk3-based text editor including gedit.

Just checked on my ubuntu gnome-shell session, with gedit & a short text file: does not see 'flashing' issue with a non scrollbar little text.
My system has 'proposed' archive enabled and use intel builtin video.
