Description
The Asset Card List appears to be (causing or participating in?) a major flash of the editor whenever a window resize message is happening.
Recommend using react state variable and changing the state on the AssetEditor component instead of requesting an animation frame. This is more typically how you request a rerender?

Research direction
Start with webapp/src/components/assetEditor/assetCardList.tsx and inspect how window resize messages trigger animation frames or rerenders. Reproduce the flash by switching focus between windows while the editor is open. Done means the editor no longer visibly flashes during the resize or focus transition.
