Solution to "blinking"

[RAIST]

Want to point out the issue isn't blinking, it's the fact that the target is lost upon a gear swap. Blinking has nothing to do with anything here.

loosing the target is the side effect of the redrawing of your toon, so they go hand in hand. If the toon isn't redrawn, the target is not lost. That's why <stal> and <stpt> work around it--the actual targe is on the menu and not toon.
