Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:

1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).

Please also ensure that you include the release and flavour of Ubuntu that you are using.

Thank you!

When running the app it either immediately segfaults, or displays an initial layout, that if any menu options are selected under account icon, immediately segfaults.

I can only find a one line segfault log entry in /var/log/kern.log

crash file attached

M Conrad, I tried retracing coredump from the file you attached. And I
can conclude this issue is similar to https://bugs.debian.org/1008156.

You can even test a workaround from there.

   sudo apt-get install libjemalloc2
   LD_PRELOAD=libjemalloc.so.2 telegram-desktop

Please be careful, you've published crash-dump that in theory may
contain secret cookie allowing access to your Telegram session. You'd
better terminate it (or them, if you had logged to several accounts) via
Settings > Three dots in top-right > Log out.

I ended up deleting the app and installing the snap as a workaround - which
is working so far without any issues.
