status bar is flickering non stop

To the good people at HeidiSQL,
The status bar flickers without pause - I think this caused by the refreshing of total connection time. I tried to disable that but it seems like I can't.
I'm using HeidiSQL 6.0.0.3727, Win 2003 Server (fully patched), 1024x768 resolution.
Any help/suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you for HeidiSQL!
Best Regards.

Yes, I saw that too but was unable to reproduce it a second time. There is something wrong in the code for painting the status bar panels with icons in them.

Thank you for your reply. In my case the flickering is constant and happens every second, ie when the time (seconds) is updated. Is it possible to have a status bar without icons? Personally I could live without the icons. The flickering is just impossible to disregard.
I would like to be helpful: is there any machine or driver information list that I can produce on my machine and send you which would help in troubleshooting this? Maybe it's a dll issue or a video driver?
Thank you much for HeidiSql.

It's an issue somewhere in the Windows API, fixable in HeidiSQL's code, and that's the way to go - no need to disable icons or so. Just be a bit patient, I'll surely fix that. You can file a bug report as a reminder.

Dear Anse,
First and always, thank you for HeidiSql.
Now to the issue: I thought that version 3753 was a fix to this flickering issue, so I installed 3754 and sadly the flickering is still there. The "Connected: HH:MM:SS" area blinks every second. Kind sir, here is a question: does the status bar need to show the *seconds*? Not really. Maybe that would reduce the flickering to once a minute? Of course it would be best to get rid of the flickering altogether, but in order to make HeidiSQL ***usable*** how about we just get rid of the seconds for the time being?
Am I the only person that is experiencing this problem? Am I the only one that is bothered by something on my screen flashing 60 times a minute? If the answer is "yes" to both questions, then I genuinely and sincerely apologize. If no, please, please resolve this.
Best Regards and Best Wishes.

I had exactly the same idea yesterday. Done in r3757.

Thank you! And I'm sure all those who were put-off by this issue thank you too. And thank you for HeidiSQL. Finally I can use it full-time. Thank you.
