Research direction
Reproduce the blinking with the attached SpecialK.ini on Notepad++ v8.7 under Windows 11, following the listed steps, and compare it with v8.4.7 where the problem was absent. Use the supplied video and plugin/debug information to narrow the regression; done means clicking different lines no longer makes the text blink.
