Don't move icons when changing simulation criteria

When looking at a plan, the graph has icons reflecting certain milestones such as FIRE and Retirement. On the bottom, there are the various incomes and expenses that can be toggled on and off to see different simulation results.

When toggling these items on/off, all of the icons on the graph move around wildly, even if they ultimately land in the same place. This makes it difficult to see at a glance how different factors will affect different goals. The result is that if I make any change to my plan, all of the icons move on the graph, which gives me the impression that everything is completely different. But on closer analysis, I realize that my change actually didn’t have that big of an effect at all.

I would like to see the movement of these icons minimized. For example, if FIRE is achieved at age 55, and I disable a certain income, and that moves FIRE to age 56, the icon itself should just move from age 55 to 56, rather than being placed on the graph from zero.

One possible way to achieve this is to eliminate the animations entirely.
