Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Very long title, agreed :)
Here is a short video that shows the problem:

The white background is constantly fading in and out when you navigate from one admin page to another within the overlay. This is annoying.
A Solution would be to keep a white background or the current page (keeping current page may not be possible) until the next page has loaded to get a much smoother transition.
Situation as it is now:

Frando CreditAttribution: Frando commentedWith the latest patch from #615130: Overlay locks up the browser and consumes 100% of CPU for certain browsers/graphics cards/operating systems applied the behavior is much smoother. With the patch the resizing only happens once (after the new content has finished loading).

It also does seem like what @Frando says is true... this might wind up being fixed by #615130: Overlay locks up the browser and consumes 100% of CPU for certain browsers/graphics cards/operating systems.

Anyone who can still reproduce it is free to reopen.
