Are the symptoms different from #5910 ?

@nicolas-raoul

No, I think it's the same symptoms.

I only know the problem in the current version and the strange thing is that the problem does not always occur. After "closing" and restarting the app, it works at least once.

Interesting!
To keep the discussion in the same place, let's merge to #5910 would you mind copy-pasting your findings there? Thanks!
