Looks like its an electron issue electron/electron#32760

[imolorhe]

Maybe you can get some help there. There's nothing I can do from my end.

[proehlen]

For anyone else having this problem, I progressively downgraded until I tried version 4.6.4 and problem went away. Maybe a workaround until the electron / chromium issue is resolved.

What news for this issue ? I also got this problem on ubuntu 22.04

Having the same issue. any update?

[imolorhe]

@shirankalir if it's the same issue, it's pending on electron fixing it. I can add a setting to disable gpu acceleration as suggested here, but I believe that would make the application performance terrible. Let me know if that's still a reasonable compromise.
