Description
This new ticket is based on https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31641 which had been closed previously.
Currently, there is a <script src="{% static 'admin/js/nav_sidebar.js' defer %}"></script> tag within the <head> element of the base template. This means that sometimes the sidebar renders before the script runs, which sometimes causes a flash/flicker when you reload the page.
I was able to reproduce this locally. To do this, I needed to hide the sidebar, then show again, then reload the browser. Upon subsequent reloads, there would be an occasional flicker.

When moving the script tag to be listed in the
nav_sidebar.html(after the code), it will no longer run the script until after the sidebar has rendered.I reproduced the steps I used to verify the flicker was present, but after this change, I could no longer reproduce the effect. It seems to have fixed the issue.
I'm not sure if there is any testing to be set up for this.
