Interesting - it comes straight up with the folded screen for me, no
flickering at all.

It may depend on how a given browser handles the scripts involved.

Skip objected to the amount of noise at the top of the tracker screen,
so I assume whoever added the feature was doing so in response to that
concern. Since it doesn't flicker for me, I actually found it to be an
elegant solution.
