Description

**electron version**: 2.0.6
**mapbox-gl-js version**: v0.49.0

### Question
I am using electron app, and displaying a vector map.
When Source is vector, all the labels and areas displays flickering effects while zoom in or zoom out.

If I use raster maps it works fine.
Any help?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the flickering with Electron 2.0.6 and mapbox-gl-js v0.49.0 using vector tiles, then compare zooming with the raster-map setup. Done means labels and areas remain stable while zooming in and out; no source files or tests are named in the issue.
