I believe that is the case.

I tested -v for the elements, and didn't notice any difference.  -vs for [plot] has a bug, however: it doesn't properly erase the objects until you hide and reopen the window, as in the attached patch.

Additionally, arrays with graphical elements exhibit the same flashing problem I've been talking about.  If you click-drag an element you'll see that all the elements after #49 start flashing.  Add another drawing instruction to the template, and it's even worse: everything after the #4 flashes.
