Description
### What happened?
I have Ghidra 12.0.4 and pyghidra.
After installing plugin i have this weird effect where window just flashes constantly to blank.
I've used pre-built version for Ghidra 11.4 and also manually built for my Ghidra version(12.0.4). Both have same issue.
Alt tabbing fixes the look, but when focusing on plugin's window problem rises again.

Research direction
Reproduce the flashing RetSyncPlugin window with Ghidra 12.0.4, PyGhidra, and Windows 11, using the repeated DockableHeader log messages as the starting clue. Trace the RetSyncPlugin component-provider and focus behavior, then verify that the window remains rendered normally when focused.
