That will be because your editor is redrawing the screen and kitty is
fast enough to show you the redraws. Try it with some plain text at a

flicker if any at all. To solve this your editor needs to implement
support for atomic screen redraws: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/merge_requests/2
