Description
When switching tabs on a plugin page in the WordPress Plugin Directory (Details, Reviews, Installation, Development, etc.), the content appears instantly but then reloads again after a short delay. This creates a double load effect and visible flicker.
Steps to Reproduce
- Go to any plugin page in the WordPress Plugin Directory.
- Click on a tab such as Reviews, Installation, or Development.
- Observe the loading behavior.
Expected Result
The tab content should load once and display smoothly without reloading.
Actual Result
The content appears immediately when the tab is clicked, but after a short delay it reloads again and displays the same content a second time. This creates a flicker or double loading effect.
I tested this behavior in Chrome, Brave, and Firefox, and the issue occurs consistently across these browsers.

Hi @huzaifaalmesbah, thanks so much for the report!
It took me a good while to figure out what causes it, so extra credit for that. :)
This seems to happen due to an upstream bug in Gutenberg that has since been fixed.
It should resolve itself with the next Gutenberg sync to wp.org.
While not ideal for the time being, it's probably not severe enough of an issue to warrant a temporary patch, so I'll close this one for now, if that is okay.
