Element Electron starts with a black screen when the system starts (reopen #15486 for Linux) #827

Reopening vector-im/element-web#15486 as I'm seeing this again in Linux. It happens pretty rarely but when it happens I need to reset my profile or at the very least log in and out of Element to stop it from happening at next reboot.

As a recap of vector-im/element-web#15486 basically what happens is that Element (sometimes) starts up with a blank window. I need to show and hide Element using the system tray to get the interface to load properly. Other users have reported on vector-im/element-web#15486 after the issue was closed that they are still seeing this bug in Linux.

Operating system

Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04

Application version

Element version: 1.11.17 Olm version: 3.2.12. This still happens with Element version: 1.11.34 Olm version: 3.2.14.

How did you install the app?

apt (https://packages.element.io/debian/ default main)

Homeserver

Synapse 1.74

Will you send logs?

No

official ppa

This doesn't make sense official is the opposite of ppa (Personal Package Archive)

Can you please specify where you installed the package from?

I was tired when I wrote the post - it's been updated :smiley:

I installed it with apt (https://packages.element.io/debian/ default main).
