Mouse sometimes not visible inside application, can't click anything #35

Sometimes when I start notepad++, the mouse is not visible at all except when in the top bar of the application window. While invisible, it seems clicking anywhere in the window has no effect. I'm only able to close or minimize the application window, nothing else. Most days I don't have any issues, but it seems when the issue starts, it persists after closing and opening the application again. Is this a known issue, sadly I don't see it in the ? Are there any workarounds besides restarting my system? I've had this issue occasionally come up when I open notepad++ right after a fresh boot.

I'm on notepad++ snap 8.4.4 and snapd itself is 2.56.2. My operating system is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6.

snap changes gives

Thank you!

Do older versions of npp have this behavior?

Also when did this start to happen?

Can you try revision from the beta branch to see if this happens.

I have only used the version mentioned and the previous version. I'm finding that the issue is persistent, closing the application and restarting my laptop have no effect on the issue. In the past, it was intermittent, but now it seems it is happening all the time for me.
I just tried typing in the window even though it doesn't appear that I can interact with it, and I see the window name update to have a * in front of the open filename. Further, using ctrl+z to undo typing removes it. So it looks like the issue is not actually that I can't interact with the window, but rather that the gui for it doesn't update.

The issue persists when I switch to the beta branch.

Is there any log file or similar I can generate and/or share?
