Disable GitLab auto-reconnect looking for new comments on issue pages

I, an anon-ticket cypherpunk, was on safer level in Tor Browser and visited a ticket on this GitLab. I changed to safest level, and a red floating box popped up on the page with the text, "Something went wrong while fetching latest comments." The outermost HTML tag contained:

div class="flash-container flash-container-page sticky" data-qa-selector="flash_container"

A privacy-preserving GitLab should not auto-reconnect nor auto-refresh. A tab left open would periodically create new Tor circuits that could be analyzed to locate the browser.

Cypherpunks don't have permission to create this issue in tpa/gitlab, but I think that's where this issue is supposed to be.
