Description
null via Discord
Currently, I’m using Linear for project management, but I’ve noticed that the built-in UI can feel quite slow and sometimes appears to be out of sync with actions.
It seems like some operations may be asynchronous. For example, when I change an issue’s status from “Todo” → “In Review”, the UI initially shows the new status, then briefly reverts back to “Todo” a second later, and only after around 3–5 seconds does the status update correctly.
This behavior can be confusing and makes the UI feel unreliable, especially when managing issues frequently.
Is there any way to optimize the synchronization or improve the UI’s responsiveness so that changes are reflected consistently without this temporary rollback/flickering?

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing a Linear issue status change and trace the synchronization path responsible for the temporary rollback; done means status changes remain consistent in the UI without the reported flicker or multi-second delay.
