Same problem here. Upgraded the tablet Z two days ago, and flickering in firefox and some games started. I don't see a direct connection to keyboard, though. But I mainly saw it, when most of the screen is white, e.g. Logo in games, or firefox with blank screen typing into awsome-bar.

I have noticed this flicker now on my tablet. 4.3, I use dolphin browser with flash sideloaded.. Experia keyboard.. It is not regular, and I cannot find anything common on when this happen. I upgraded using SUS but had to do a repair using PCC. The repair caused the tablet to wipe everything and start fresh. Sometimes it goes on for minutes at a time without any flicker. Otherwise, it happens on a whim.. In any case annoying.... ::-(

Edit : Doh Still show flickering !

I just deleted all the data in the Xperia Keyboard app from ( Settings - Apps - All - Xperia Keyboards- all of them-) and also all words in my auto correct list (only had about 15-20). and the display hasn't shown any flicker since nearly an hour + ( not long enough I know. ). In my case the flickering only started today so I will keep observing.

Can someone else also check this by deleting the auto correct words ?  In my setting I have not activated learning words from Gmail, messages, facebook etc. I did this before for gmail, but came back with an error saying cannot connect to gmail. and there is no toggle switch to turn it off..So I don't touch that menu option at all...

The Xperia international is default keyboard for me, and the skin is the default one.

May I also add that the flickering is also initiated by dragging the Facebook chat bubble around on the screen and in and out of the cross at the bottom. As previously said by others, screen flickering is also initiated by the keyboard being active.

Sony: Any updates soon that will fix the flickering issue? Seems to be something off at the root of the software in this version...

Glad it is not me or my specific tablet.  Now I know for sure it is 4.3.

Anyone else notice it only flickers in landscape?  Seems to not flicker for me if I turn it to portrait.

Same flickering on my Xperia Tablet Z after 4.3 update. Hope for a fix soon.

I can also confirm that flickering only occurs in landscape mode. No flickering during dragging of Facebook chat bubble in portrait mode, nor any occurences during typing.
