Hi
I have no problems on my old laptop with joplin-desktop 2.9.17 on ArchLabs (i3)
But I have just installed Archlabs (i3)on my new lappy and I am getting the same thing from the first opening of the app:
leigh@T16-AL ~ % yay joplin-desktop
1 aur/joplin-desktop 2.9.17-2 (+235 3.82) (Installed)
A note taking and to-do application with synchronization capabilities - Desktop
EDIT: The app image (downloaded from the Joplin site) has the same behaviour
EDIT2: Running from terminal gives:
leigh@T16-AL ~ % joplin-desktop
xdg-settings: invalid application name
Try 'xdg-settings --help' for more information.
EDIT3: In Openbox WM I can get it to 'render' what should be there by maximizing/unmaximizing
So for example, if I click on the options under Tools, the contents of the window dont change but a quick maximize makes the options pane come up. Then if I click on a checkbox it doesnt look like it registers, but a quick maximise shows it has. Like this I managed to get the tray icon to appear for example
Obviously its unusable like this, but I though this might give some clues?
Similar thing is possible in i3 by moving Joplin to another workspace in lieu of max/unmax in Openbox
EDIT4: similar problems in skypeforlinux - electron problem?

Another EDIT:

xdg-settings: invalid application name
Try 'xdg-settings --help' for more information.
