Description

_This issue has been broken out of https://github.com/flutter/devtools/issues/2890_

## Delay when changing values

There's a slight delay when clicking boxes/dropdowns in the Layout Explorer:

This makes the DevTools feel sluggish to use and affects the overall user experience and the quality of usage.
