Do you mind to check the console for errors and send them my way? (Right-click -> Inspect will open the dev tools.)

@adamdotdevin I think i have the same issue, the window is blank, right click does nothing.

I'm not sure how to run startup with log output so I can't see what's going on. Just started using it maybe 10 minutes ago.
I also can not move the window, only resize. No menu item does anything so the bugreport button also does not work.
