That could happen if there's nothing in common between the previous
and the new contents of the window.  Again, if redisplay cannot keep
up, this is entirely normal, and any flicker related to such situation
is something we cannot do anything about.

What are the dimensions of that rectangle?  Is its width identical to
that of the parent frame, or is it smaller?  If smaller, is the width
similar to that of the child frame or different?
