Expected Behavior
Every popup and window should act normally.
Current Behavior
It is extremely glitchy. The main window is often transparent and flickering, and any popup window coming from that window, for settings etc, is just unusable.
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch the latest Flathub Flatpak on KDE Wayland
- Open a settings menu etc
Anything else we should know?
Is this version outdated? I get no updates for it.
