I know this topic is not a current one and the mentioned GitLab issue has long been closed. But with the really bugged 1.8.1-s-20230203257074-dev-FP3 version on my FP3, I also have this problem (apart from the other issues). A fixed version is currently also not in sight. Slowly it becomes really annoying using /e/OS for me when even basic things are not working, maybe I have to look for alternatives soon.
