Question Minimap Icons Flashing (Resolved with Patch?)

I installed the new 4.1 beta version of Carbonite this morning and so far I've only found one problem. And it didn't start right away. But after playing for several hours, the icons on my minimap began flashing erratically, which was driving me nuts.

At first I thought it was my graphics (I've had issues with my new graphics card) but after rebooting it didn't fix it. Then I noticed the flashing reminded me somewhat of the flashing glow on harvest nodes which Carbonite adds.

I went to Carbonite Options > Map Minimap and set "Minimap herb/ore dot glow delay (0 is off)" to 0. And the problem stopped instantly and completely!

Again it didn't start right away, and I'm not sure what caused it to start doing that. But it was making ALL my minimap icons flash erratically.

I have my regular game minimap set up with the carbonite minimap seperate, situated just below my minimap and usually zoomed out so I can see more of the regular map and use the default minimap for a more localized view. (If that makes sense.) I have the "Move Minimap into Carbonite map" option disabled.

Thanks for putting out the new beta version so quickly! I love having my nodes flashing at me to remind me they're there, so I hope you can resolve this issue!

Edit: I just thought of something, it's possible the icons that are flashing are things that I have checked off in my Tracking list. I like to leave Class Trainers, Innkeepers, Mailboxes, Reagents, and Repair tracking turned on, and all those icons were flashing. If needed I can check to see if it was other icons that show up by default as well.

Edit 2: Okay it isn't just items I'm tracking. I turned everything but fishing and mining tracking off, and it's flashing for a quest I'm about to turn in. And now that it's started doing this, it won't stop even after a reboot.
