Zotero 7 Beta: Occasionally the main window size is reduced and app works slowly

After launching Zotero, every now and then, without a clear trigger, the main window of Zotero is reduced to a small size. As a result, "Troubleshooting Mode" is written to the left of the sync icon in the top panel. Also, PDFs that are bigger in size and quality are loading considerably longer and if PDFs are to be indexed, the indexation process takes much longer than usual, as if the app is generally working very slowly.

This happens on average at every 5th launch.

If Zotero is closed with ctrl+w (it's not running anymore according to Ubuntu's system monitor), then upon relaunch nothing changes, but if it's closed with ctrl+q, then upon the following launch the window size is finally restored, "Troubleshooting Mode" gone and everything works smooth again, so using ctrl+q seems to be the only solution right now.

With small sized window after launch:
The debug ID is: D1988244921 (by clicking "submit" in debug output)
The report ID is: 1329256790 (by clicking on "report error")

With normal sized window after launch:
The debug ID is: D1362827439 (by clicking "submit" in debug output)
The report ID is: 1298448892 (by clicking on "report error")
