Damn, this looks bad. @adhalanay is this frequent?

[adhalanay]

@akashnimare Always. When I start from a terminal I got these messages (those from node repeated several times):

(node:83275) Electron: Loading non-context-aware native module in renderer: '/snap/zulip/27/resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/@felixrieseberg/spellchecker/build/Release/spellchecker.node'. This is deprecated, see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/18397.

Gtk-Message: 18:44:25.437: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

(node:83049) DeprecationWarning: Passing functions, DOM objects and other non-cloneable JavaScript objects to IPC methods is deprecated and will throw an exception beginning with Electron 9

If zulip is installed via apt the bug is no longer present. Also the GTk-Message is gone. So the problem seems to affect only the snap version.

@adhalanay can you repro this on the latest version which is v5.2.0?

Sorry, the problem is still there.

@adhalanay can you reproduce this in the v5.3.0?

[adhalanay]

Yes. Same thing.

[akashnimare]

@manavmehta can you open an upstream issue? I'm sure there is not much we can do here.
