Opening a file causes Visor window to flicker

TotalFinder
1

Actual Behavior

Opening a file within the visor window causes the visor window to flicker as the file is opened. Once the application is open, the visor window goes away.

Quicktime didn’t capture as many flickers as I actually see.

Expected Behavior

Opening a file from within the visor window should keep the visor window visible until the file’s application opens. That newly opened application should then get focus, and the visor window goes away.

The video link is broken for me. Could you please check ti in incognito-mode?

I am seeing a similar problem; short clip demonstrating is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvcS3zhkCOY

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you identify the problem!

Thanks,
Matt

The link should be working correctly now. Sorry about that problem. It doesn’t preview, but you can download it.

I have also seen this behavior, though I haven’t found a way to consistently reproduce it. For me, it also occasionally happens when opening/closing apps, too: the Visor will flash very briefly, sometimes in the middle of the screen.

I have also seen other sorts of random Visor pop-ups (e.g., when an app generates a child window, like a printing dialogue), but I will post about those in a separate thread when I can report how to reproduce those issues. For now, they seem completely random.
