Pcloud Appimage does not work properly since Mint 22:
In 21.2 it still works as it should.
The problem is: The app starts but the window to sign in does not open.
I was on a back and forth with the pcloud support and it seems to be a Mint 22 issue, as it runs on other Distros and also on Mint 21.2. Mint 22 is the only showing this behaviour
Distribution

Bug description
Pcloud Appimage does not work properly since Mint 22: In 21.2 it still works as it should. The problem is: The app starts but the window to sign in does not open.
I was on a back and forth with the pcloud support and it seems to be a Mint 22 issue, as it runs on other Distros and also on Mint 21.2. Mint 22 is the only showing this behaviour
Steps to reproduce
Download the appimage from: https://www.pcloud.com/de/download-free-online-cloud-file-storage.html# Make the appimage executable Try to open it on a Mint 22 install
Expected behavior
There should appear a window which does not.
Additional information
I paste my 2 systems information here:
