This is a known issue our team is actively working on. The flicker kicks in while the agent is streaming a response and the chat is pinned to the very bottom of the transcript.

The reliable workaround for now: while the agent is working, scroll up slightly in the chat so the view isn’t stuck at the very bottom. That stops the flickering, and you can scroll back down once the response finishes.
