A few weeks ago, my mother (who uses Ubuntu) asked “Why did inkscape just discard every change I did?”. I went and checked what's going on, and apparently the snap version just doesn't open any file dialogue. She hit Ctrl-S to save and (very understandably) assumed it saved it. Well she lost 3 hours of work. Installing the debian package fixed it, and, as a bonus, it started following the system theme and stuff.
Such subtle bugs are everywhere. I don't even know where to begin investigating it, and frankly, I don't care enough. Snap is a bad, overcomplicated piece of technology that deserves to die.
Even if you don't investigate it, I wonder if you should file a bug? "Snaps causing data loss" should either light a fire under Canonical or provide a very easy indicator of their priorities.
