Apparently, this can be fixed by following steps outlined in another issue: https://github.com/docker/kitematic/issues/2357 - simply using newer version of electron seems to fix the problem. Any possibility to have this merged into the future release?

@samupl Unfortunately I don't have the necessary cycles to make this happen - Is this something you could help with?

[samupl]

I could try in my free time. Aparrently, newer version of electron causes other bugs to appear. I'll find some free time and read through the development guide and see what I can do :)
