Describe the issue:

Project switching never loads when trying to switch projects in the same window. Popping into a new window does work as expected.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Open a new instance of Positron, and attempt to launch an existing project.
2. Note the screen doesn't load.

Expected or desired behavior:

Project switching works.

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

I can reproduce. This is a React load failure.

I just experienced this on Windows as well FWIW. Not a surprise, but just noting for completeness. Developer Console looks just like above.
