Rocket.chat.electron: Snap crashes Gnome3 session on Ubuntu 17.10

[Aninstance]

My Setup

• Operating System: Ubuntu 17.10 (kernel 4.15.2-041502-generic)

• App Version: 2.7.0 (latest version available as a snap as default when installing through Ubuntu at time of testing).

• [x ] I have tested with the latest version

• [x ] I can simulate the issue easily

Description

To reproduce, I just need to open the app on my system.

Current Behavior

The entire Gnome 3 shell (Wayland) session instantly crashes (which obviously closes all running desktop applications and throws back to the login).

Note, this is an issue specific to the rocketchat-desktop SNAP package. Installing via the .deb package works fine (although I note the .deb is version 2.10.2).

Expected Behavior

The app should run without crashing the session.

This happens to me, too. Both the spotify snap and a snapped electron app that I made locally crash Gnome shell. I see a segfault in the system logs when it happens:
