Does switching to the Flatpak version of Catalyst solve this problem?

[dumorando]

nope

[jdev082]

nope

I can't reproduce the bug and the containerized version doesn't work there isn't much that can be done other than downgrading to v3.4.x. You'll miss out on a few features. I have never experienced this bug and it's rather mysterious.

If you have some programming experience you can create a custom build without the new titlebar. This is what's causing the problem. Then you can utilize new releases.

[dumorando]

ok

This is a known issue with the library used for the custom titlebar. When it's fixed, I'll release a bug fix with the update.

You can read more about it here: AlexTorresDev/custom-electron-titlebar#240

Not the first issue I've had with this library. Might remove it in the next release:

I was able to reproduce the bug on Fedora GNOME so maybe it's a problem with GNOME. Are you using the GNOME version of Ubuntu (The default flavor of ubuntu from ubuntu.com)

[dumorando]

ye

[jdev082]

This problem will be fixed in Catalyst v3.6.0 (the beta containing the fix will be releasing shortly)

problem is the build system is broken

[dumorando]

i moved to plasma and it still doesnt work for me

i moved to plasma and it still doesnt work for me

The custom titlebar was completely dropped in v3.6.0. Try updating to the latest release.

[dumorando]

yep it works now
