This will be fixed by the soon to be added checkbox alignment change.

This basically happened because the scrollbar hidden state was not updated correctly when preference change caused a refresh of all visible screens. With the current checkbox position, the cursor happened to be close enough to the scrollbars to cause an update to the opacity, which together with the wrong hidden state made it appear for a moment.

This is just a small visual glitch and it would indeed be avoided (but not solved on a technical level) with the new checkbox layout. However while checking the code I noticed that we can remove some old hacks, which would also solve this issue.
