Proposed changes
This PR focuses on optimizing the performance of the showDragLines feature in the web UI, resulting in a significant improvement of approximately 2x. Through testing on Edge DevTools performance page, it was observed that the "Long Task" duration for a Node-RED flow page containing 800 nodes decreased from around 90ms to 50ms. This translates to an increase in frame rate from approximately 11 frames per second to 20 frames per second.
I am not sure why these few lines of code I have modified are effective. My changes probably have no side effects
