I am having a similar problem. It doesn't happen always and I am not
100% what causes it. Suspending the frontend and resuming it seems to
be one of the triggers. I see this is on a frontend-only machine so I
doesn't seem to be a problem with the backend.

I wrote about the problem here, but haven't seen any suggestions:

I mention a couple of "workarounds" and other details like version I'm
running. Check the posting out to see if your problem is the same as
mine.

Cheers,
