This is a known and long-standing issue with snapd (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1616650). The proposed solution is called "Refresh App Awareness", and when enabled it prevents snapd from refreshing an app while it's running. Unfortunately it's still considered an experimental feature, and as such is not on by default. But it's been baking for a long while, and works well in my experience, so I'd recommend turning it on:

snap set core experimental.refresh-app-awareness=true

Thanks, I will try this out for a while... :)
