Hi, I know it's probably not possible, but is there a way to disable the 'blink' when Kibana Maps does a refresh?

If for not all layers, maybe just for selected layers? It would be awesome!

Hi Attila. I'm not sure I understand. How is the map "blinking"? Can you post a GIF?

Yes, so I have **n** layers, the bottom one being the circuit itself. It'd be nice if somehow it could be configured not to be re-drawn at every refresh cycle. (Maybe I should create a region out of it somehow..?)

You can avoid reloading the circuit layer by unchecking "Apply global ..." options in the layer editor

Omg, thank you! 🙂 I somehow missed that option entirely!
