blank screen in signal-desktop 7.42

[anarcat]

since a recent update, signal-desktop goes “blank” after a while. the window is completely black, and doesn’t return until i resize it.

i believe this is a regression introduced around Feb 8th, since that is when I last updated signal and I’ve only noticed this very recently.

i'm running debian GNU/Linux 13 ("trixie", testing) and Sway as a wayland compositor. I have enabled the "ozone" stuff to enable wayland support in signal/electron.

i also reported this on the beta forum https://community.signalusers.org/t/beta-feedback-for-the-upcoming-desktop-7-43-release/66869/12

This is not a fix, but at least a workaround, if you resize the window (I have 2 instances running on the same sway workspace), the content will pop back in existence.
