Code:
            if(sense_tab_on)
                if (!afk)
                    var/Scouter
                    if(!Toggled_Sense)
                        for(var/obj/items/Scanner/A in src) if(A.suffix)
                            Scouter=1
                            var/mob/Center

                            if(src)
                                if(!afk)
                                    if(ScanArea == 2)
                                        var/I=1
                                        winset(src, "ScanArea.GridSA", "cells=0x0")
                                        src << output("Location:","ScanArea.GridSA:1,[I]")

Essentially, the icon is refreshing on the grid, causing the grid to stretch and then shrink. This creates a poor visual for the player. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks for the help!

P.S. I added the sleep at the end just to make it less frequent as a bandaid of sorts

If anyone else runs into this issue, this is how I had to fix it.

            if(sense_tab_on)
                if (!afk)
                    var/Scouter
                    if(!Toggled_Sense)
                        for(var/obj/items/Scanner/A in src) if(A.suffix)
                            Scouter=1
                            var/mob/Center
                            if(usr.S) Center=S
                            else Center=src
                            if(src)
                                if(!afk)
                                    if(ScanArea == 2)
                                        var/I=1
                                        src << output("Location:","ScanArea.GridSA:1,[I]")
                                        src << output("([E.x],[E.y],[E.z])","ScanArea.GridSA:2,[I]")
                                        for(var/mob/B in Mob_Range_Scanner(Center,round(A.Range)))if(!B.afk)
                                            var/Scan=B.BP
                                            if(Scan>A.Scan) Scan="!?"
                                            else Scan=Commas(Scan)
                                            if(isnull(B)||isnull(B.client)) continue
                                            if(B.GodKi&&B.AllowGodSense) Scan="???"
                                            I += 1
                                            src << output(B,"ScanArea.GridSA:1,[I]")
                                            src << output("[Scan], [dir2text(get_dir(Center.loc,B.loc))]","ScanArea.GridSA:2,[I]")
                                        winset(src, "ScanArea.GridSA", "cells=2x[I]")
