Description

It is possible to send/receive messages for a while, then the whole window (excluding the menu bar) freezes, and it is not possible to click on anything. Pressing F5 also does not help.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the issue comments for reproduction steps and any logs. Examine the message handling code in the Electron renderer process (likely in src/renderer/). Use Chrome DevTools to profile the freeze and check for memory leaks or infinite loops. Look for any recent changes to message handling or UI updates that might have introduced the bug.
