Description
Summary
The TAS Studio checkbox "Recording mode" flickers when checked and playhead is moved
Repro
- Open Bizhawk 2.6.0
- Open TAS Studio
- Check the "Recording Mode" checkbox
- Scroll a bit through the piano roll. The checkbox tick flickers
Host env.
- BizHawk 2.6.0
- Windows 10
- Ryzen 3 3200G
- 6 gb usable ram
Potential fix
Im guessing this is because checked state is being programatically set somewhere, which causes a groupbox (parent control) repaint and flicker?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in TAS Studio on BizHawk 2.6.0 with the Recording Mode checkbox enabled, then scroll the piano roll while observing when the checkbox state changes. Trace the updates triggered by playhead movement. Done means the checkbox remains visually stable and checked while scrolling.
