Speech bubble changes position quickly

I recently optimized my project to remove clones, it uses a script without screen refresh to stamp all buttons and then go to the nearest button to the mouse to check for clicks. After implementing that, when the speech bubble appears, it turns from right to left very quickly. It looks very unprofessional and it doesn't seem like I can do much about it but revert back to using clones or try using a second sprite.

easiest workaround might be adding a new sprite that has an empty costume that just sits in one spot forever, and then have that sprite be in charge of displaying the message bubbles

oh you already acknowledged that as a workaround

yeah that's probably the most realistic path towards fixing this

Any idea about why that happens?

You probably go to the rightmost button last while checking the buttons, which causes the bubble to switch to the left side. If you go to the left edge right before going back to the visible position, the bubble will appear on the right side
