dropbox stop; dropbox start

Some diagnostic messages appear there sometimes. Post the result. Let see it. 🤔

I've been having the same problem for probably years now. I'm using Fedora 33 - but it's been the same in 32, 31, and maybe earlier, too.

 

I tried turning off "Early releases" and re-installing Dropbox; didn't make a difference.

 

Nothing interesting happens when Dropbox starts up:

      Hi neuromante what do you mean by "graphical mess"? I am on openSuse Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma and I do not see a "graphical mess", I think.
      However, I have non-functional submenus: both the "Recently Changed Files" and the "Snooze Notifications" submenus do not show anything when clicked. Do you see the same?
      Thank you in advance
