Since #25808 (Don't enable WS_EX_COMPOSITED by default in wxMSW any longer, 2025-09-23) the wxAuiToolBar flickers when hovering over it with the mouse.
In 3.2 it works fine, so I think the actual culprit change must be a different one.

The flickering can also be seen in the aui sample.

The cause for the flickering (the regression) is that the following changes were not reverted in #25808 (Don't enable WS_EX_COMPOSITED by default in wxMSW any longer, 2025-09-23):

  • 386e60c (Fix refreshing wxAuiToolBar after stopping double buffering it, 2024-10-01)
  • 76b3738 (Stop using wxAutoBufferedPaintDC in wxAuiToolBar, 2024-08-23)

Thanks a lot for finding these commits, I suspected it was due to something like this but didn't have time to search for them myself yet. Will remove and push in a moment.
