2019 MacBook Pro Touch Bar flickers after waking from sleep

Touchbar flickering on 2019 MBP, this happens mostly when waking up from sleep.


The cure for me was removing the dimmer icon from the Touch Bar...

Go to settings / Keyboard / Touch Bar settings / Customize Control Strip...


The mouse pointer can now drop down to the physical Control Strip and grab the dinner icon...just drag it up off the bar and it is gone...I also removed Siri as I don't use that.
