    To be clear, this is specifically the :target (or #fragment) flash highlight animation that you get when e.g. opening an answer in a new tab. Commented Nov 23, 2020 at 17:38

    This one dropped off my radar. Yes, by design. Table headers have a dedicated background color that's getting painted instead of the default yellow-ish background color we use when highlighting. Table bodies don't define an explicit background color, so the yellow tint from the question body gets applied here, too.
