Page keeps blinking, flickering

As I'm in the editor the page keeps flicking on and off, it's the only way I can describe it. I've recorded a loom video showing the behaviour. Not even sure it's something from GB or GP?
Hi there,
That's quite strange.
Can you give us more details? What blocks are the blinking texts made of? Are they reusable blocks?
Any chance you could let us have temporary backend access to observe and try to replicate the issue on our end to confirm if there's an actual bug and identify which is it?
You can use the private information text field for the site details. Let us know.
Sure, I've created a temp login for up to 7 days. I was working on the services page at the time.
Hi there,
thats very bizarre - couple of questions:
1. Does it happen if you create a new page ?
2. Was that page created by Duplicating or Cloning another page ?
Hi David,
I’m not sure if it happens on a new page. I’ll try it.
I have noticed if I use something from the Local Template library that content loads last on the page and sometimes takes about 5 seconds to load.
The page was not cloned or duplicated. I have duplicated a couple of elements though.
It seems to be an issue with the pseudo element applied to the background images applied to the corner of each box. I've added another quick video below to show you the test I did. It is on the last container on the page, just above the pricing boxes.
Strange, I just logged in to see if I could see it, but it's not happening on my end. What version of Safari are you using?
Hi Tom, I'm using, Version 14.1 (15611.1.21.161.5, 15611)
Haven't given up on this, just haven't figured out what's going on yet.
It seems to be when you add a z-index value to the Container, but only in Safari 14.1.
It happens to core Group blocks as well if I manually add position: relative; z-index:2 to the Group div in developer tools.
Will continue to debug - sorry for the wait!
Yes. I was thinking the Z index may have had something to do with it. Thanks for the update Tom. If it gets too annoying I’ll just change to Chrome. Love your work on Generate Blocks btw.
Well, I just copied the content from your Services page and pasted it into my localhost - the issue isn't happening there at all.
I wonder if there's something local to your site going on. Have you tried deactivating other plugins?
I just tried deactivating every plugin except the GP and GB plugins and the problem is still there.
Does the same thing continue to happen if you copy the content and paste it in the editor on another website? Trying to determine whether this is a localized issue or not.
Thanks!
I've copied and pasted some of the blocks, not all of them and it is not flickering, however on the pricing block I pasted in it says there was an error and cannot be previewed properly.
That error could be because the copied blocks are using a GB Pro feature and this test site doesn't have GB Pro? Just a guess.
So the flickering is completely gone on this site? In that case, I wonder if there's a plugin on the original site causing the glitch to happen. I noticed it with the core Group block as well when I tested it.
