[BUG] CellXGene showing cells as unhighlighted with large dataset? #2709

Describe the bug
When I open up a large sample, specifically the Zhang et al MERFISH Coronal Animal 1 (4 million cells), CellXGene shows all of the cells as if they are deselected. This does not happen with smaller sample like Animal 2 Coronal from the same paper. Mousing over a subset of cells in the left panel causes them to be highlighted like they normally would be, and unselecting them causes them to mostly/entirely disappear.

To Reproduce
Running cellxgene launch brain1.h5ad causes this.
This also occurs in the browser version.

I am running Debian 13 on a Thinkpad 13 gen 2. This happens on both GNOME and Hyprland desktop environments.

Expected behavior
I have used this on other systems and do not have this graphics problem. This may be due to a system-specific weakness.

I am planning to give a presentation/demo of CellXGene next week to several scientists using this specific dataset and this machine, so I would like to be able to do so as planned.

Version (please complete the following information):

  • Desktop or hosted?: Both
  • Browser (if hosted) [e.g. chrome, safari]: Firefox, chromium both cause this. I have not had this issue before.
  • Version [e.g. 0.13.0]: 1.3.0
