Description
So we have a menu, and when we start a test, the screen flickers. And sometimes it doesn't flicker. We have tried disabling the cursor before rendering the dialog, but it doesn't work.
The issue also persists for dialogs with no cursors, like a dialog with an Ok button.

Research direction
The issue names no source file, test, or entry point; begin by reproducing the flicker with a menu and dialog, including a dialog with an Ok button and no cursor. Trace the rendering path used by those dialogs and add a regression test if the project provides a suitable location; done means dialogs render without flickering in both cases.
