Gnome DE Reports "Not Responding"
Arch Linux, Gnome Wayland 3.38.3, Musescore 3.6.1 AppImage
I interact with a score (every kind of interction: input, click to inspect and such) and Gnome DE will frequently (with no certain frequency but every few seconds of interaction) tell me that Musescore "is not responding" and asks whether I should force quit or wait, meanwhile Musescore seems to respond with no problems at all! If I don't interact with the score and let the software be running, it won't say that it doesn't respond.
On top of that, not only it interrupts me but something strange also occured once: the message appeared, as usual, but after closing it and selecting notes, the notes would disappear... After selecting many, and disappear, it stopped happening, so sending the score won't really help anywhere, as it seems like it wasn't the scores fault.
Plasma KDE wouldn't warn saying "Not Responding" every few seconds. So, I don't know whether's it's Gnome's fault or Musescore's fault. Thanks for reading.
Edit: Sometimes I also get black windows like this one:

I tried today's Nightly (Not master). It had the same problems... So... It's probably Gnome's fault?
FWIW I occasionally see this on the Debian installation on my Chromebook - a dialog telling me MuseScore has stopped responding even though it hasn't. No idea why, but so far it's harmless.

Weird. I have also contacted the gnome mailing list to be more "efficient" and see from the problem comes.

I wouldn't say it's harmless... It interrupts me all the time. Sure, okay, I can close it, but it gets annoying when it pops up every 2+ seconds. I still have no response from them...

Well, for me it's not every two seconds, more like every two days.

That's a huge gap... Wayland or Xorg? I log in Wayland sessions and , honestly, it has a high frequency if I interact with Musescore a lot.

Chromebooks have their own special system because the Linux container is actually talking to ChromeOS. I gather it does use Wayland, but it is its own thing.

Wait I thought you run a Debian too? Or this is something about chromebooks in general?

Chromebooks run Linux as a "container" and then there are additional services that help manage the communication between the Linux container and the native system. Not really sure of all the details of how it works, but it's Debian, but not plain vanilla Debian because of these extra services.
