One thing you can try is to see if removing your config file helps and reintroduce the non-problematic lines of the config file that you care about back.

I am guessing but are those paths complied in somewhere or are the set <br>
in a config file somewhere.?<br>
<br>
I ask because I suspect the problem has to do with the snap version I <br>
installed first. I hate snaps.<br>

I looked around in the settings menu and didn't see anything that looked <br>
broken.<br>
