Bug Description

In a laptop Thinkpad t14s AMD 4750 PRO (Renoir GPU) with Ubuntu 21.04 (5.11.0-22-generic)

When opening ANY LibreOffice app as a Snap, from GUI menu or from command line, 2 processes are opened, and the program GUI is not displayed.

eduardo@edu-ThinkPad-T14s:~$ pgrep -a soffice
10612 /snap/libreoffice/223/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --writer
10613 /snap/libreoffice/223/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --writer

eduardo@edu-ThinkPad-T14s:~$ pgrep -a soffice
10803 /snap/libreoffice/223/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --impress
10804 /snap/libreoffice/223/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --impress

eduardo@edu-ThinkPad-T14s:~$ pgrep -a soffice
11002 /snap/libreoffice/223/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --calc
11003 /snap/libreoffice/223/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --calc

Killing the last process of any LibreOffice app allows the program GUI to start fully and be displayed.

Maybe its something with new amdgpu drivers, since in another laptop (thinkpad t460 intel with Ubuntu 21.04) this does not happen.

It also affect CHROMIUM SNAP in machines with AMD CPU. Right clicking on parts of the application that would normally open a context menu, for example right clicking on the tabs along the top, results in the application freezing. This does not happen if you right click in the web page area

I must add that with the same Thinkpad 14s AMD 4750 PRO (Renoir GPU) with Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS kernel 5.8 this problem does not happen. This can be important because in august the Ubuntu LTS its going to upgrade the kernel (if I understand correctly) this can break the snap for a lot of AMD laptops users

Hi Jonathan

Tested the Chromium snap and indeed there are a problem when right clicking, but I think maybe its an unrelated issue, better open another bug support in the chromium snap.
