Hi Gokhan,
Please excuse us for the delayed reply.
We've tested the panelbar and weren't able to observe the described issue.
Could you please record a video demonstrating the erroneous behavior with Jing for example? Thanks a lot.

Hello Gokhan,
It seems this issue is happening only when caret browsing is enabled in Firefox (with F7 or with the corresponding permanent option). It seems there is some kind of a bug in OS X where caret browsing also works for links (in Windows and Linux it isn't). To work around this issue, add this CSS rule to your project:
.RadPanelBar .rpRootGroup .rpLink
{
-moz-user-input: none;
}
Let me know if this helps.
Sincerely yours,

Hello.
I'm also having an ugly flicker problem in Firefox 3.5.8 / Windows. I have the latest trial version of the ASP.NET AJAX control suite. The flicker occurs when collapsing or expanding RadPanelItems and when I'm scrolled down to the very bottom of the page (the scrollbar is at the bottom). The flicker does not occur in IE8 or Chrome. I've tried the Default, Telerik and Vista themes with the same flicker.
I'd be happy to submit some sample code or a video if this scenario cannot be reproduced on your end.

I created a simple page which reproduces this. While creating it, I discovered that this flickering I'm referring to is occurring when there is a Background Image on the page. The sample code below includes CSS on the <body> tag that points to a BG image.
When you run this, scroll to the bottom of the page, and collapse the panels. When the panels collapse, the total height of the page becomes shorter and this is when the flickering occurs. In IE, it's very smooth. The flickering is in Firefox. I can shoot a video too if you don't see this flickering on your end. Thanks in advance.
CODE UPDATED on 3/3/2010 to use a non-animated BG image on the PanelBar links.

Kamen / Telerik: Have you had a chance to test the sample code I posted? Am curious if you are also seeing the flickering, or page re-drawing in Firefox on your end too. And if so, is there a solution to eliminate this flickering?

Hi Ben,
I'm sorry for the late reply, we are busy currently with the next release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX which should be rolling out next week.
I've tested your markup and there indeed is some flickering in Firefox. Looks like a very strange issue and it seems related to the animated gif rendering that we use for root item backgrounds and the background color of the body. If you remove the background color only, the issue will go away.
If this doesn't work for you and you are willing to sacrifice the animated gif background of the RadPanelBar, you can open the gif image in a image editor and save only the first frame (or whichever you like) as a png, then override it in you page with:
div.RadPanelBar .rpLink
{
background-image: url('images/StaticRootItemBg.png');
}

Kamen: Thanks. I created a non-animated GIF of the RadPanelBar link's BG image. The original image is 20 x 600 in dimensions with 23 frames. The GIF I created has just the single frame. I applied the CSS and I can see that the panel bars are no longer animated. However, I'm still getting the flicker in Firefox. I updated my code above with the latest test code. The test code is using the CSS you provided, and is pointing to the non-animated GIF I created.
When you have a chance, I'd appreciate if you could take a look and provide any feedback. Thanks very much.

Hello Ben,
I'm attaching the test page along with the converted image that I used. I can't reproduce it here, but it is entirely possible the issue to depend on computing speed, so if you still reproduce it, then the only fix left is to remove the background color of the body element (you can leave the image). Let me know if this helps.
Best wishes,

Thanks Kamen. I downloaded this last week and tried it out. With this version too, I'm still seeing the same flickering. I actually have an above average computer.
I'm currently exploring other possible tools for accordion style functionality. I did try a jQuery based accordion control and saw the same flicker in Firefox. There's a couple of others I'm looking at and will see how they do. It's not an option to remove the BG image on the body since it's a key part of the web design. I definitely want to improve the situation because I'm using the Panelbar on a page where the Panelbar is at the bottom of the page. Every time I collapse panes, I get this flicker and it's driving me nuts. If I find a solution, I'll post it here. Thanks.
