This looks similar to signalapp/Signal-Desktop#2396, except that one is old and fixed, and this one is new. Reporting here instead of the upstream following their policy.

[UnkindPartition]

Also, the same version of signal-desktop (6.39.1) installed via flatpak doesn't have this issue.

[gtopsis]

Checking what is the latest stable version of the app in the snapcraft, I see that currently the version is 1.11.0, although the channel candidate offers the 6.39.1!
An incoming update in the morning reverted my app to the older 1.11, and I had to re-install it from the channel candidate in order to get a working version of the signal-desktop.
