Description

Upgraded to 0.7.2 today and the rendering pane is flashing on almost every keypress:

It seems to happen with every combination of themes and syntax highlighting I've tried.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the flashing rendering pane after upgrading to 0.7.2, using the linked video and trying different themes and syntax highlighting. The payload names no source files, tests, or entry points; done means keypresses no longer cause the rendering pane to flash across those configurations.
