Fullscreen QML application is flickering when hovering or pressing a button

[D.Fahsig]

I have a fullscreen QML application that should be displaying a dialog.
Whenever I hover or click on a button the screen flickers like the graphics card was switching modes or something.
This also happens with a demo application that is started standalone or with qmlscene.

System: Qt 5.5.0 on Windows 7 SP1 x64 (and x86)

main.qml:

import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Dialogs 1.2
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtQuick.Controls 1.3

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    Rectangle {
        anchors.fill: parent
        Rectangle{
            width: 200
            height: 200
            color: "#00ff00"
            Button{
                id: mouseArea
                anchors.fill: parent
                onClicked: {
                   messageDialog.show("Test")
                }
            }
        }
    }

    MessageDialog {
        id: messageDialog
        title: qsTr("May I have your attention, please?")

        function show(caption) {
            messageDialog.text = caption;
            messageDialog.open();
        }
    }
}

Standalone the application is started using QQuickWindow->showFullScreen() (the same code that is used in qmlscene)

How do I fix that flickering?
As a workaround I currently have the application running frameless and 1px smaller in height than the screen. Then no flickering occurs, but this is not really what I want. Is there some hidden setting, that makes this work on windows? (Apparently this is a windows-only problem)

@AndreasM
can you try like this

import QtQuick.Window 2.2
ApplicationWindow{
    id:windows
    width: Screen.width
    height: Screen.height
}

@vishnu
This leads to the same situation. Qt or windows seems to recognize an application filling the complete screen and makes it fullscreen, if it is borderless. If it is not borderless this does not work as parts of the application go offscreen by the amount of pixels used by the top bar and borders.

I am not sure where is the error but it works for me .May be try reinstalling the Qt with necessary components may fix some times. Good luck
FYI: i also Qt 5.5 on windows 7 64 bit.
