      Problem Statement/Rationale

      Since recent updates, MongoDB Compass has started flashing intermittently while I'm using it. The screen flickers for a split second—almost like a refresh—without any clear pattern.

      This issue does not affect functionality, but the constant flashing is distracting and makes the UI uncomfortable to use.
      Frequency:

      • Happens very often — sometimes 5 times within 10 seconds.
      • Seems to occur more when I move the mouse around, especially while hovering, not specifically on clicks.
