Hi everyone,

Black loading screen issue with the Rocket Chat client on Fedora 38 using Wayland. Launching the app often results in a completely stuck on black with no visible interface or controls. Restarting the app sometimes helps, but the screen issue reoccurs.

Switching to Xorg seems to fix it, but I would prefer to stay on Wayland. Rocket Chat is the only app showing this dark screen issue on my setup.

Anyone else facing this, or does anyone know of a solution for this loading screen issue? Any advice would be appreciated!

If it happens then report an issue with the Electron app here:
