Description

Upgraded to 0.7.2 today and the rendering pane is flashing on almost every keypress: https://i.imgur.com/F7OTGhH.mp4

It seems to happen with every combination of themes and syntax highlighting I've tried.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the changes between version 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 that affect the rendering pane. Look for modifications in the view's drawRect or update cycle. Check for any added animations or redundant redraws causing flickering.
