Our views on this is reflected at: electron/electron#9056

We will update to latest Electron soon and hopefully this would get addressed.

Putting the workaround as suggested by a user here

Working command: DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 snap run postman

I have just edited .desktop file (/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/postman_postman.desktop) - added that env variable and now it is OK.

I made that change but it reverted automatically. Perhaps as a temporary measure the DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 could be added in the default desktop file provided by the snap?

This does nothing for native wayland support and is rather offtopic
