Insomnia: [Bug] Fails to open preferences on Linux (Installed with Snap)

[louisjrdev]

Insomnia fails to open the preferences pane on Fedora 33 (Workstation Edition) (Wayland Windowing System) with Insomnia installed with snap.

When I open the preferences I get a blank white screen like so:

and if i run from snap run insomnia in the terminal I can see the error:

Which version are you running? On Ubuntu preferences are opening just fine. This is the version I have installed:

I am running Insomnia 2020.5.1, unfortunately I can't see the results from the about menu as it shows up like this:

Insomnia 2020.5.1 completely broke my workflow on Ubuntu. None of my endpoints load, my preferences page is white, and the about screen has font issues like the above image.

I reverted my snap package to 2020.5.0 and all of the problems went away.

❯ snap list insomnia --all
Name      Version   Rev  Tracking       Publisher    Notes
insomnia  2020.5.0  116  latest/stable  gschier1990  disabled
insomnia  2020.5.1  117  latest/stable  gschier1990  -
❯ sudo snap revert insomnia --revision 116
insomnia reverted to 2020.5.0

I'm not moving off of 2020.5.0 until this is fixed.

I'm facing the same issues with 2020.5.1 on Ubuntu 20.04.
Edit: Using the .deb package instead of snap fixes the issues.

@nijikokun Is it possible to get this flagged and moved along the process? Shame Linux becomes a second class citizen a lot of the time.
