Thanks a ton for reporting this issue.

We've seen similar GPU issues on various Linux platforms, but could you try launching Pulsar with the flag --in-process-gpu or --no-sandbox. That usually seems to sort them out.

But since you say it works anyway via the terminal, maybe if it's possible to add these flags to when it's launched via the dock could help test?

Hello, yes, with both options seems to works fine

added to file /usr/share/applications/pulsar.desktop :

Exec=/opt/Pulsar/pulsar %U --in-process-gpu
