  1. What browsers show this problem?
    I am using the latest version of Chrome
  2. Please share an example project (if possible).
    Any project will do.
  3. Describes the steps to reproduce this issue.
    1. While working on a project in Snap!, leave the tab and do any sort of side business.
    2. Interact with this new tab, then return to Snap! after a few minutes.
  4. What does Snap! currently do?
    It shows a blank screen or freezes, and unfreezes after a length of time. I've seen this time frame range from 30 seconds to about 5 minutes or more.
  5. What should Snap! do instead?
    Return directly to where I left off and let me start working immediately.

I'm afraid for now the answer is "use Firefox." When Jens finishes his Morphic rewrite, this Chrome misfeature shouldn't affect us so much.

On my laptop this happens occasionally and the white screen usually persists for about 5 seconds. Maybe this depends upon how much memory Chrome is using and how much is available. Can you reproduce this if you have only 2 tabs? If no other programs are running?

Update: this is now fixed. I have not encountered this issue anymore after leaving the tab and returning to it. Hooray!

it's because of snap 6.0
