Same for me as well.

Sometimes app stucks when making a request.

  • Or enters into white screen of death

Not sure if it can be related or not, but tried to play with settings. (The app was using like dark theme, I have changed it to use system theme and now it works.
However, it 's strange my fedora's theme is dark, but the app has light colors.

Tried changing it back to dark color, and it seems to work. (Not sure if I was just so lucky that it randomly behaved like that, or switching between themes did any effect)... :D

===========================

Update, just when I posted the message the app, had freezed in dark mode....
Also minimizing / maximizing dissorts the UI like so:

just after I have posted this message, it froze again in dark/black mode.

So I am switching back to system theme. And will see if there will be any other anomalities with GUI becoming unresponsive.

Hah, sadly in system theme, it worked for a bit longer but still became frozen / unresponsive)

I played around over this issue, as there are no other better alternative for me over postman other your amazing software.

I played around with various approaches and I seem I can't get it frozen if I start the app in new window
