Chat window opening automatically when certain people join meeting

I am seeing a weird behaviour whereby the chat window automatically opening as soon as certain people enter a meeting.  No one has posted in chat, the mere act of someone joining is causing this.  Not 100% certain, but I think it only happens when a Windows user joins the call and not when Linux or macOS users join.  I am using Zoom 5.13.7 on Ubuntu.

I, and all the other Linux users on my team, are experiencing this (bug?) as well. Currently using version 5.13.7 (683) on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

Same behavior here; no solution in any of the settings that I've found.
