sorry, that's not all. 2 more changes needed. I had to comment out all
calls to BoundsChanged, too:

in procedure TIB_CustomGrid.SysUpdateEditor:

(InPlaceEditor as TIB_GridInplaceEdit).Color := AColor;
// Pohl 05.10.2006
// (InPlaceEditor as TIB_GridInplaceEdit).BoundsChanged;

in function PositionControl:

tmpIntf.SetFocus;
// Have to FORCE a BoundsChanged calculation due to some
// weird processing with WM_CTL* messages.
// (even though, more often than not, no change has occurred)
// Pohl 05.10.2006
// tmpIntf.BoundsChanged;

No it's possible to modify TIB_Grid.InplaceEditor without flickering.
