Taking a look 👀

Nothing really jumps out to me from the list of PRs in this release, but maybe the theme switching has to do with it. I'll do a little investigation locally now.

Shoot, I'm really not sure what's going on here. The view is rendered by react-plaid-link in an iframe. I was able to pause and inspect the page by setting a debugger below this line, but I haven't figure out the root cause. My guess is that we somehow broke this when changing some of the root styles of the app. I'll ask for help in the Slack open source channel.
