If I use WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 when trying to open the app, it works.

Can a fix be done or the variable included in the app?

Hi @dougg0k,

If I use WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 when trying to open the app, it works.
Can a fix be done or the variable included in the app?

unfortunately that isn't possible at the moment due to various dependencies we use. The exact reasons and discussion threads are mentioned + linked in the hoppscotch-desktop package's README.
