Description

To Replicate:

  1. navigate to: https://popcode.org/?gist=223d13c0220433a154a87f76c8a453fe
  2. Click to expand preview in new tab
  3. Wait 5 seconds
  4. Notice that the screen goes white.

It does seem to recover if you open the console or if you navigate away from the tab and back again. No idea what's going on to be honest.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue from the linked gist URL by expanding the preview in a new tab and waiting five seconds. Use the browser console and tab navigation behavior as clues while tracing why the preview turns white. Done means the expanded preview remains visible after waiting and still recovers normally when switching tabs.
