Lighsail Snapshot Console Screen Refresh - 30 seconds

Question

I feel like I must be missing something simple. On the Lightsail snapshot screen I've noticed that the screen refreshes every 30 seconds. This refresh makes it very difficult for me to manage my snapshots (delete or multiple delete). By the time I have marked or scrolled through the snapshots the screen refreshes and I lose my work. How can I change/disable this screen refresh of the snapshots? This behavior started about a year ago.

Thank you, I too cannot believe more people aren't upset by this behavior. Sorry for my late response but just assumed that I was the only one affected by this issue and had given up on it. Looking forward to seeing a fix.

This has been driving me crazy, I'm not sure how to report the issue as I don't have a support subscription.  For me, Lightsail Snapshot Console will refresh every 5 seconds.  When I want to name I new snapshot, I have to write the name elsewhere, cut and paste it, and then try to copy it into the name field and hit "Create" before the screen refreshes and I lose everything.  
  
This has been an issue since I started using Lightsail, almost a year ago.  I'm surprised not to find more complaints about it or that AWS hasn't made a fix in this time.
