Thanks in advance and for all the work with Axolotl!

2. wait
3. white screen appears

Expected behavior: [What you expect to happen] Axolotl is started with UI.

Actual behavior: [What actually happens] White screen is shown.

Versions

v0.9.4

Device

PinePhone CE 3Gb with Mobian (with latest updates on FDE-image 20201215)

Debug Log

file://[...]/guis/qml/qml/MainQML.qml:20: TypeError: Cannot read property 'left' of null Continuing with line 21 to 23 (top, right, bottom)

Can confirm this happens with Manjaro (Arch) Plasma Mobile (version 5.21.0) on the Pinephone as well, with Axolotl version 0.9.8. Also followed the 'manual installation' process as described in the Mobian wiki (adapted it a bit for Arch), and also starting the application through /[..]/axolotl -e qt.

Possible note of interest: the application started fine the very first time. All subsequent attempts to start the application now also give this error in the terminal and result in a white screen in the application itself.

I experience this issue sometimes.

If I reboot the issue is still there.

If I shudown and power on pinephone, magically it works!
