Fewer tooltip updates

[4bitfocus]

It would be nice to have an option (or just reduce) the number of tooltip updates (redraws/repaints) that are needed to update the item level. It causes a lot of "flashing" when I hover over players in a raid and spins through a percent complete thing. The percent complete isn't all that useful to me to be honest. I would suggest just an "in progress" status and then the final gear item level or an "incomplete" status for errors. Saves a lot of window/frame/tooltip redraws.

Which part of the tooltip is flashing? Are you running any other tooltip addons?

I have addons that append to the tooltip (e.g. TMS), but I'm not running TipTac or anything like that. This is the only gear item level addon that I have.

The tooltip window itself flashes as its updating the percent complete.

Thanks! It shouldn't need to redraw the whole tooltip to update one line of text, I'll see if I can track down what's causing that.

I had this happen last night. It seems to be triggered by offline players. The addon tries to inspect the player, it adds a line then spins through 0% to 100%, and then removes the line again. I think the "flickering" was when it was adding and removing the line for the gear score (I want to say it was at the bottom of the tooltip).
