After latest update, I can't open the chat window for any contact

As the title says, I can't open the chat window anymore.

I'm running on Ubuntu 18.04.6 and my zoom version is 5.8.0 (16)

I still receive messages and the notifications show, but I can't open the chat windows to reply..

 

Anyone had a similar issue or maybe an idea on how to solve this?

 

Thanks

After uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling, it's back to normal... stranger things...
