Description

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.
