My Calibre often crashes while I use it along with the Edge browser. It doesn't stop responding, the reader window just turned blank white, right-click on the window still shows the options, but choosing the reload option does not help. Re-launching the Calibre reader seems to be the solution, only for it to happen again in 20-ish minutes.

I just recently decided to update my Calibre from v5.x to the newest v7.26. This problem never happens when I'm still on v5. So here's the details:
.
I was reading an epub that I obtained by using a Chrome extension to grab a whole series' chapters into an epub called WebToEpub, the epub was quite a mess, I'm not a programmer but after cleaning it by using some common sense about HTML structure with Calibre editor it somehow able to open just fine.
.
While reading the book, I took advantage of the Windows 11 window manager to open 3 app windows at the same time. I multitasked by playing a browser-game called Granblue Fantasy on 2 separate windows of Edge Browser. The thing is, the browser-game needs to be refreshed a lot (it's just the gameplay mechanics). While the game is refreshed, there seems to be a chance for the Calibre reader window to follow suit, being refreshed, but instead of being refreshed, the window content just vanishes into a blank white window.
.
I suspect this is probably because of the browser and the game's demand of GPU Acceleration to render its contents, maybe it's a driver issue or my ancient GTX1050 and UHD630 were the problems, or maybe something else...
.
I'm not really looking for a solution here since simply relaunching the Calibre app fixes the problem and the reader still remembers the position of my last read. I don't know if this had ever happen before and had been asked in this forum, I just want to bring it to light.
