Flickering scroll bar
I'm not a huge fan of always showing the scroll bar, but it's a little irritating that every time you click on a sample the scroll bar disappears and reappears. Unless there is some more elegant way to prevent the flickering, I would say let's always show it.

Yeah, setting some min-height enough to have the scroll bar should fix the flickering while loading data.
This is trickier than I imagined.
This is Firefox only behaviour, and it doesn't happen on Chrome/Safari.
Firefox just flashed the scrollbar once whenever there is a change in the document height (probably to indicate the scroll position). That's what is causing this flicker and unfortunately setting a min-height is not helping as well, because the document height changes after the data loads, causing the scroll bar flicker again.
I went through Firefox about:config as well, but I don't see any config specific to this. There is a config to keep it always visible but not to disable this flashing.
what do you think about this issue @manojVivek? do you think it's worth spending some time on again, or it might have even been fixed with the new design already?
Just checked on Firefox and it still happens.
But this is a Firefox-specific behaviour and not a trivial bug. So we can close it if this is not a pressing concern.
