Description

I recently noticed that Blink browsers were rendering chat text with [subpixel rendering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering) disabled.
This seems to happen when a gpu slice is forced, so stuff like setting a css transform property.
This is now fixed on Chat's end, but the resizable-bar on Rustla is still triggering it when embedded.

A solution would be to set the transform property on resizable-bar to `none` when not in the act of resizing.

Research direction

Locate the resizable-bar component and inspect how its transform property is applied during and outside resizing. Verify the change in a Blink browser with the bar embedded: text should retain subpixel rendering when the bar is not being resized, while resizing should continue to work.
