❌ Actual Behavior

Before PT run shows, a blue background is shown which is rather distracting.

This seems to be happening every time, not just after fresh application start etc. However, the duration in which this blue background is shown differs rather drastically. Sometimes it's very long, sometimes very short so that it's barely noticeable.

Those short flashes are not captured in the video but they're definitely there.

Also, this blue background appears when the height of the PT run window changes during typing due to changed number of shown results (also shown in the video).
