Mike describes the root causes, which include lazy loading elements and JavaScript actions that hide or reposition elements. Various solutions implemented in Drupal are introduced, such as using '<noscript>' tags and the latest CSS media scripting features to manage content visibility more effectively. These improvements are part of a broader initiative to refine Drupal's functionality and deliver a more stable and responsive user interface.

Mike also highlighted upcoming presentations at DrupalCon Portland 2024, where further developments will be discussed. The article represents a significant step towards optimizing Drupal's admin interface, with contributions from community members instrumental in the ongoing updates.
