Description
At just the right width and height, the resize logic on mosaic tiled galleries can enter an infinite loop with the scroll bar appearing and disappearing:
- Scrollbar appears to accomodate gallery height.
- Gallery adjusts for container size
- Scrollbar disappears as its no longer needed
- Gallery adjusts for container size
- Repeat…
#### Screenshot / Video
Gif demonstrates, but has low frame rate. In reality its a very fast jitter, flashing between different sizes.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by reproducing the tiled-gallery jitter at the triggering width and height described in the report, then trace the gallery resize behavior around scrollbar appearance and disappearance. Done means the gallery reaches a stable size without an infinite resize loop or flashing between dimensions.
