Fixed an error that was displaying for users when the language field was selected on reports 

Data visualizations

Update data visualizations to be hosted via iframes (FNW-1974)

Updated the data visualizations to be hosted via iframes, which only impacted highchart visualizations. 

[CWV] Avoid large layout shifts (FNW-1905)

Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) is a Core Web Vitals metric and it calculates the shifting of elements while the page is being downloaded and rendered. Excessive shifting can cause a bad experience for users and also negatively impact SEO results. Updates were made on several areas of the website to reduce the number of layout shifts. 

Technical cleanup

Update the search and replace scanner (FNW-2004)

The search and replace scanner was updated to remove searches for content blocks that were removed in a previous sprint.
