Description of the issue: On an M1 Macbook Pro, when resuming from sleep with external monitor plugged in via USB-C cable, Brave’s UI disappears and becomes unusable.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. With M1 Macbook Pro connected to an external monitor via USB-C, put M1 Macbook Pro to sleep with Brave open with multiple tabs.
  2. Resume M1 Macbook Pro from sleep.
  3. Wait for M1 Macbook Pro to crash and restart itself.
  4. Log into macOS again after it starts up.
  5. Launch Brave.

Expected result: Brave should resume with its UI intact.

Brave Version( check About Brave): V1.20.108

Additional Information:
OS Version: macOS 11.2.1

Things I’ve tried:

  • Download brave again and overwrite existing version of brave
  • Shutdown and restart the mac
