Dear @vd-aloker
Thanks for reporting a bug. We are working on your issue. Stand by for further updates.
Warm regards, Oleksandr from Lens
Any news on this? Lens is literally unusable for me now. Can I do anything to help?
@vd-aloker may I ask you to try to update Lens to the latest version 2025.6.261308 and let us know the result, please? As I can see, you're using 2025.6.21515
