Yep I have the same issue, an can confirm it only happens when using the key board (it's happening now!). What does Turning acceleration off do?

Still no word from Sony? It's like the longest thread in this forum!

It is not a Chrome issue. It does it in the Facebook app and my Kingsport word processing app.

my xperia z tablet 16+ lte has the same issues. But it also has almost not noticeable blinking backlight when scrolling in Chrome, visible better when it's white background. It feels like slow framerate and it is really annoying.

After some testing I realized that this blinking happens through all applications. I guess backlight's is set up so in the system. It does not look hiend afterwards...

I called Sony. They told me to download the software to correct the flashing screen.
