## About The Pull Request

i hate this shitty flashing bullshit, i develop a real game that should
be taken seriously:

## Why It's Good For The Game

i'm just upstreaming this so it's less work for me to port changes in 2
years

if you don't think this shit is good you should look at this spoiler:

direct all people who have billion pixel tall screens who are scared of
a single pixel flashing for a frame towards the goonstation ideas and
suggestions subforum

oh i also wrote this section of the code originally a year ago in #86868
lol, but that only fixed it in IE not wv2

## Changelog
:cl:
fix: tgui windows should now stop flashing for a single frame elsewhere
when opening
