Is there anything that can be done about text post flickering on opening? (feddit.uk)

Hopefully this is known about as it's hard to describe, but in the main feed I see text post previews in a mid-grey colour, and when opening them I see the full text momentarily in that colour (also with no paragraph spacing), and then it seems the style is applied and the text 'flickers'. Mostly just once, so it's not too bad, but sometimes it flickers back and forth causing quite a visual glitch.

Let me know if this is news and I'll try to record it happening.

Yeah, this would happen because Arctic uses the cached data from the post feed for the initial display of the post, and then reloads the post in case the data is stale.

I just fixed this. When opening a post now, it will apply the proper formatting for the initial display. This will prevent the flicker, there may still be some changes that pop in if the post has been updated.
