There's a small weird flicker when I open the sidebar via the sidebar button (when the sidebar is a sheet, e.g., when the window isn't very wide), but it's barely noticeable.

ugh i dont want a flicker lol. it's not the fly in animation? something else? feel like making a lil video?

[The-Best-Codes]

I just made a screen recording. I think it's a scrollbar. It probably was an issue before this PR anyway... but still makes a little white flicker above the goose for a second when opening the sidebar.

Freeze-frame from the video:

It's a VERY minor nitpick lol
Since it's likely not caused by this PR it might be a good fix for a different PR?

ah yes thats goose flying in! it does that on the home screen today. lol shall i take it out?

No I like the fly in animation! I'm talking about this:

Which is a scrollbar appearing for some reason while the sidebar opens, and it causes a white flash above the goose. Unless that's supposed to happen?

Here's a demo of it happening on the main branch (not this PR):

Kind of hard to tell in the recording, when I test locally it's more obvious (especially now that it's right above the goose). But yeah very minor 😆
