🔴 Required Information

Describe the Bug:
In the new DevUI (introduced in v1.24.0 and present in v1.24.1), clicking on a tool execution log in the chat history to view its details causes severe rendering issues. After viewing the details in the left-hand panel for a few seconds, the screen glitches, leading to a complete freeze or crash of the Chrome browser.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Start the DevUI by running adk web.
  2. Start a chat session and prompt the agent to use a tool (e.g., ensure the agent triggers execute sql or similar).
  3. Wait for the agent to complete the task and provide a final answer.
  4. Click on the tool execution step in the chat stream to inspect the details.
  5. Watch the details displayed in the left-hand panel for a few seconds.
  6. Observe that the screen starts to glitch, followed by the browser becoming unresponsive.

Expected Behavior:
I should be able to view the tool execution details in the left panel indefinitely without any graphical glitches or browser crashes.

Observed Behavior:
After clicking the tool execution log and viewing the left panel for a few seconds, the UI rendering becomes corrupted (screen glitches), and shortly after, the entire Google Chrome browser freezes and crashes.

Environment Details:

  • ADK Library Version: 1.24.1
  • Desktop OS: Windows 11
  • Python Version: 3.13.9
  • Browser: Google Chrome 144.0.7559.133
