BUG: General settings and plugins store appear blank

Checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

Problem Description

Sometimes when opening settings the "General" and "Plugin Store" page appear blank (forgot to check the other settings pages, so I don't know wether or not those display correctly).

Other times only "Plugin Store" page appears blank and I am unable to search for any plugins in there as well as not getting any suggestions or previews using "pm install" in launcher. Writing out name in full does successfully install plugins.

Issue is persistent and a restart of Flow Launcher seems to fix it. Sometimes it happens multiple times in a row requiring multiple restarts.

Win builds where i have experienced the issue:

• 26100.2605 (Regular availability)
• 10.0.22635.4655 (Beta)
• 10.0.26120.2705 (Dev)

Possibly related issue: #2307

Looked through logs and don't think errors are related, but they're included anwyay

To Reproduce

1. Start Flow Launcher
2. Open launcher
3. Open Settings

Just opened Settings on an existing instance of Flow (was working prior to this), no menu pages on the left except "About" responded (others were selectable but only "About" showed.

When trying to resize the window, white border first appeared and then white box as on the image below.

Updated logs (from 12.48):

Edit: Did not need to create new instance to fix, only relaunch settings window.

Edit 2: No suggestions/list shown in the launcher and only autofill in input area for local applications. Something like calculator copies to clipboard, but doesn't show any suggestions/results. Relaunching Flow fixed this. Nothing new in logs except failing to get thumbnails from onedrive.
