Tasks app interface is broken

What Happened?

I had some issues previously regarding Nvidia drivers (see #276). Since then, the Tasks app was updated and the Flatpak app now works! Sadly, the interface still has misplaced elements and the app is basically not usable: image

I think the problem is faulty app data (which can't be uninstalled through a GUI). There is a way of uninstalling a Flatpak app with all of its data using flatpak uninstall io.elementary.tasks --delete-data, but as this data comes from the old app (previously not distributed as Flatpak due to problems with certain graphic cards), the interface remains broken.

Is there any way I could fix that?

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the Tasks app
  2. Misplaced elements show up in the user interface

Expected Behavior

The Tasks app should be usable, with fully functional UI.

OS Version

6.x (Odin)

Software Version

@JohnDumpling elementary Tasks is shipped as *.deb currently. So you can try to uninstall and then re-install elementary Tasks in AppCenter using the elementary Updates remote.

If this does not work for you , try with apt:

sudo apt remove io.elementary.tasks
sudo apt install io.elementary.tasks

Sadly, neither of these options worked.
