Use repaint-call in updateImage to mitigate flickering

d.kilic requested to merge 247-flickering-of-the-trajectory-overlay into master

QGraphicsScene::update schedules a redraw. Since we continue processing, we want the redraw to happen immediately. If it does not, we might run into flickering.

Using QWidget->repaint() should solve this issue. But since it is not easily reproduced, we cannot be sure it is fixed. However, till it occurs again, we regard the issue as fixed.

Closes #247 (closed)
