Hello,
It's hard to tell - I tried to reproduce that based on the WebCombo ASPX declaration you've used, unfortunately to no avail. I am aware of one generic IE flicker problem (you can read for this here + the solution)

But it generally applies for IE6 only.
I guess, the best way to proceed is to send a small subset of your project reproducing the issue to our Developer Support folks - they will surely be able to provide additional clues/solution when they see the repro
