Header background flickers

• Device OS and version: cm13
• Device model/manufacturer: Samsung i9300
• F-Droid version (in the About screen): 1.103-alpha3

The header background below the first list item flickers, as you can see in the video. I can not reproduce this in the emulator.

While flickering, logcat messages like those below are printed. The messages are not printed all together, but in waves of 10-15 items every few seconds.
Every time a new bulk of messages appears, the header background flickers.

Doesn't happen on the devices I have available for testing here, but probably still a bug.

I can reproduce it on my device too. A Motorola Moto E 2015 LTE (surnia) running a LineageOS 14.1 nightly (Android 7.1.2).

I have this too, Xperia 6.0.1

I did not bother reporting this as I though everybody had it.

Also, this got a lot rarer on alpha3.

changed milestone to %0.103 - UX Overhaul

assigned to @pserwylo

added bazaar label

Thanks for the screencast and the logcat. While I can't reproduce this, I think I know what is causing it (based on the logcat) so will try to address it.

It's a lot better now on 0.103. Still flickers every 2-3 seconds, but at least it's not driving me crazy anymore.
