Flashing status line in build 5.0.5005 TUI

I am a long time user of r-drive image version 4. I just started using version 5 and have noticed a minor but very annoying bug in the TUI (Text User Interface) during a restore: The status line flashes needlessly. It appears that the programmer wrote the code to refresh the status line in a fast loop with no logic to wait for a character change before re-displaying. This should be really easy to fix. The flickering/flashing of the status line (percent and pseudo bar-graph) puts a blemish on an otherwise polished product that I use on nearly 100 machines in my enterpise.
Looking forward to the next build with the bug fixed.
Thanks,
Dave G.

I made a mistake in my description of the problem. The problem is with the text mode progress bar that is displayed during a scripted backup launched from Windows. I am very sorry for this error in my original post. I tried to upload a file with this post that has a screen capture of the problem but your system gives me an error: "Could not upload attachment to ./files/2773_8748033b54af68748033b54af6c98f6eb88e0ee36957f." If you need the file I can send it via an email address you provide. Thank you for your support.
