**Description:**  
Our plugin displays a **webview (`JBCefBrowser`) inside the editor tab**.  
In IntelliJ 2025.1 and 2025.2 we’ve observed repaint issues:

1. **Theme Change Issue**

2. **Loader Issue**

Both issues disappear after scrolling, which indicates a **repaint invalidation problem**.  
Neither issue is reproducible in **IntelliJ 2024.x**.

**Steps to Reproduce:**

1. Install the plugin that displays a webview in the editor.

2. Open the webview tab.

3. Perform one of the following:

4. Observe:

**Expected Behavior:**

- Webview content should update immediately when the IDE theme changes.

- Loader should hide automatically once the action is complete.

**Actual Behavior:**

- Theme update and loader hiding both only occur after user interaction (e.g., scrolling).

**Environment:**

- IntelliJ IDEA 2025.1, 2025.2 → Reproducible

- IntelliJ IDEA 2024.x → Not reproducible

- JDK: [21]

- OS: [Windows/macOS]

**Notes :**

- Appears to be a **repaint invalidation issue** with JCEF integration in IntelliJ 2025.x.
