I suspect you are running into a fundamental restriction of the current
flat review implementation.  We're tracking this via the following bugs:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436641 and
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400732.

The basic idea is that flat review current takes a snapshot of the
window and allows you to explore that snapshot.  If the contents of the
window change while you are exploring that snapshot, the snapshot is not
updated.  We made some modifications recently to reflect changes in
things like progress bars, but I don't think those modifications will
handle things such as changes to text areas.  

For GNOME 2.22, we plan on providing a better solution for those who
want to use flat review as a primary operating mode (we originally
designed it to be an escape mode).

Can you describe more about how you are
