Issue caused a side-effect (#106704) - METAL 3.6 - Object "flashes" on certain mouse events with GPU Backend

So a slightly more targeted fix for the sync stall is required, which does not reset the sync universally, but only in the problematic cases.

Will be best to re-verify whether this fixes the issue reported with this PR applied: #106914

Thanks!

Will mark this as confirmed.
We'd need #106914 to backport to 3.5 once merged into main.
