Actual behaviour
Unable to interact with the pcbnew main view. It does not redraw until I switch to another window.
Eeschema does not seem to be affected.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with kicad-8.0.0_1: open pcbnew and try panning the main view, then compare the behavior with the flatpak build. The fix is done when pcbnew redraws and remains interactive during these actions without switching windows; eeschema should remain unaffected.
