I used MQTT explorer before, but the version currently installable via snap is completely unuseable.
After downloading tons of files, it can finally be started.
Then the "MQTT Connection" dialog is shown, but none of the fields accepts any keyboard input. This can be "fixed" by hitting the "+" sign and then the "connect" button (still all fields empty as it is not possible to type anything into them). An error message appears and after dismissing it, the input fields start accepting keyboard input.
Having filled in everything one hits "connect". The "connect" button changes to "abort" and nothing else happens. After having clicked "connect" and "abort" for some times, an empty error message (just 2 curly braces) appears, which can be dismissed by clicking it.
The main menus ("Application", "Edit" and "View") can still be brought up by clicking them, however, they are completely empty.
Finally, the application cannot be closed by clicking on the window's close field. One has to do a "ps aux | grep mqtt" which shows a result of 7 (1) processes, the first of which has to be killed twice to close the window.
tested on Ubuntu 25.
