Pycharm window "flashing"

Every few seconds the pyCharm application blinks for a millisecond and flashes white. Has anyone else come across this error and know how to fix it? I'm using OSX, Pycharm Community Edition 4.5.3

Why is my window screen flashing?

Screen flickering in Windows is usually caused by display drivers. To update your display driver, you'll need to start your PC in safe mode, uninstall your current display adapter, and then check for driver updates. Start your PC in safe mode, then select and hold (or right-click) Start and select Device Manager.

Why does my screen keep flashing Windows 11?

Screen flickering in Windows 11 is usually caused by a display driver issue or incompatible app. To determine whether a display driver or app is causing the problem, check to see if Task Manager flickers.

I think this is a bug that JetBrains need to fix, i've looked around and found people having this issue with IntelliJ, PyCharm and PhpStorm.

They are aware of it (for a while now) but have not yet found a solution by the looks of it: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-131593
