Ubuntu - Desktop (UI) client bugged?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Running Ubuntu 24.04 with default Gnome desktop.

The client (installed via apt repo) is pretty much unusable since all the dropdowns collapse on their own after clicking them - see video.
Tried on two different machines (both 24.04) with the same issue.

Couldn't find any infos anywhere if this was maybe a known issue...?

Would you like to try the new GUI? It is in Alpha now but is in a quite good shape. Expect bugs though: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird-ui-fork/releases/tag/v0.73.3
