"Add reaction" on merge request comment hangs for several seconds

Summary

If I click to the "Add reaction" icon on a merge request comment it hangs for several seconds before displaying the emoji panel. This bug probably starts with GitLab 13.5 (and older version didn't contain it).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a merge request.
  2. Add a comment to it.
  3. Click to "Add reaction" (the "smile" icon) on the comment.

What is the current bug behavior?

It hangs for several seconds (cca 10) before it displays the emoji selection panel.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The emoji selection panel is displayed immediately without hanging.
