Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running the eframe example and reproducing the flicker while resizing a window quickly on the reported desktop setup. Read the issue comments and the relevant eframe/egui resize path to identify where the jitter originates. Done means the UI elements remain stable during fast resizing and the behavior is verified against the reproduction steps.
