Thanks for testing out our alpha release candidates of Hoppscotch desktop app.

This is a known issue which we're currently working on. Expect this to be solved in next stable release.

This is possibly a duplicate of #3524 hence closing. Kindly subscribe to the previous issue ticket to track the progress.
