This has been happening for a while and this also happens in games not just studio. I’ve seen this problem on multiple machines so it is not my graphics. Repro:
This has been a bug for a good while now. I can’t quite remember when it first started to happen. Can it please be looked into?

Since this is a graphical bug, it may be a good idea to post your GPU information. Also, do you know when it started happening? A start date could help tie the bug to a certain release.
Some other things which may help:
Could you try switch between OpenGL and DirectX in ROBLOX Studio’s settings?
You are using Windows, yes, or are you using a Mac? It could be a platform-specific bug, for all I know.
Do you have problems on more than one computer, or not?
Anyway, I hope you can get the problem solved,
Danny

Opps… forgot that info. I’ll add my specs.
EDIT: Also I tried what you’ve mentioned and still get the problem.
Okay, was just trying to eliminate possible problems. Shame that didn’t help, though.

Hmm, you didn’t list your graphics specs?
I’m guessing because you have an AMD CPU (processor), you have an AMD GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)?
One non-vendor (AMD, Intel, NVIDIA) specific way of finding your graphics info on Windows is to run “DxDiag.exe” which is part of DirectX which you must have! 
If you run that, can you post the detected graphics information?
Also, please ensure your graphics drivers are up-to-date! Problems can occur with outdated drivers.

I’ll be haply to help with any problems.[/quote]
Alright:
And I believe the drivers are updated.
Dang, still no graphics info.
Can you:
Press the Windows key + R.
Type msinfo32 or msinfo32.exe in the Run command box.
Press Enter.
A window called msinfo32 should open. Can you go to “Components” on the side menu, then click “Display” then copy whatever text is in the name field?
It should look something like:
Oh, and ignore that arrow on that image – I found it on Google when looking for an example.

Alrighty, sorry I haven’t looked at my graphics info before, xP.

Ah, there we go!
Your GPU is quite an old one, it wouldn’t surprise me if the flickering is caused by incompatibilities with ROBLOX. Do you have any other computers you can try reproduce the bug on?
I would try reproduce this, but I’m on my phone right now and won’t be able to access a computer 'til tomorrow morning, but I will see if I can reproduce the problem nonetheless.
By the way, I think there’s a good chance it is a hardware issue, but I could be wrong, of course.
Also, if anyone reading this has this problem on different hardware, please post here so we can try find a solution.
Either way, I hope it gets fixed for you.

Well, there’s a laptop I could try it on. Also, the decals weren’t behaving like they’re now a few months ago. Maybe it is just my graphics.
EDIT: Well… I tried it on my phone and sure enough it happens on there too so I guess it’s an official bug.
Well, considering it used to work, it should be fixable. But there’s always the possibility that something that works fine on one computer can run incorrectly on another.
I’ll test this tomorrow on two different laptops, and see if I can reproduce anything. That should hopefully tell us whether it is a graphics issue or not.
But for now, I need to go to bed – I’ll get back to you in the morning.
Thanks,
Danny

Thanks for your help! Also, it happens on mobile too BTW.
Sorry for taking ages to get back to this, but I was incredibly busy over the weekend.
On the two computers I tried to reproduce this on, I had no issues.
Are you 100% sure your drivers are up-to-date?
Updated drivers could solve the problem.

Other than that, there’s nothing else I can really do.

This is what came up when I ran the program you linked me:
And I’m certain this is not a problem with my PC. I’ve seen this similar occurrence happen on the mobile app. Also it mostly happens when there’s a good amount of decals in one giving area.
Bump. Can this please be examined?
There has been a bug for a while where decals & surfaceguis (and even other transparent bricks) would overlap transparent blocks from time to time randomly (and vice versa) even if they were positioned well apart, if that means anything to the almighty bug fixers?
I remember this thread.
