Steps to reproduce

  1. Enter a room that you haven't viewed before in the current session (you may potentially need to wait for SS expiration)
  2. As the room history syncs, watch the timeline flicker / spasm for a few frames (showing stale messages from ~20 messages ago), and recover again.

This video shows what the flashing looks like (in this instance it's triggered by a proxy misconfiguration bug causing SS to expire every few seconds):

This now manifests itself as a an abrupt bouncing animation rather than a flash thanks to the timeline animations, which is slightly less undesirable but still a problem.
