      Issue Summary

      When editing a Canned Response that contains variables (e.g. issueReporter) the text area becomes jittery and the screen appears to refresh rapidly. This results in a degraded, “flickering” editing experience and noticeable slowness.

      Steps to Reproduce

      Step 1

      • Create or open a Canned Response that includes at least one variable, for example:
        {{issueReporter}}

      Step 2

      • Save the Canned Response.

      Step 3

      • Reopen the same Canned Response and begin editing the text body in the editor (e.g. add, remove, or modify content around the variable).

      Step 4

      • Observe the editor behaviour while typing, especially around the variable placeholder.

      Expected Results

      • The Canned Response text area should remain stable and responsive while editing.
      • Variables such as {{issueReporter}} should stay in place without flickering, disappearing, or reappearing.
      • The user should experience a smooth, non-jittery editing experience with no rapid screen refresh.

      Actual Results

      • The text area appears jittery, with visible rapid refresh/flicker while editing the Canned Response.
      • In the attached video, the variable {{issueReporter}} repeatedly disappears and reappears as the user edits the text.
      • The overall editing experience feels slow and degraded, making it difficult to work with the Canned Response.

         

      Workaround

      • Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
