Bug ID: 502635
Summary: electron apps cannot save files any more
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: git-stable-Plasma/6.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: slartibar...@gmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
I am using 2 flatpak apps, postman 11.40.1 and bruno 2.1.0 as well as
mongodb-compass 1.45.4 or 1.46 installed as rpm
Problem is, that those applications offer export functionality (saving to files
on local storage).
Using mongodb-compass and postman the sympton is:
- use the save/export functionality in the app
- the 'save-as' dialog rendered by plasma appears
- click on 'save' in the file dialog
The file dialog just closes, but the underlying application does not seem the
get the 'notification' that i selected a file for saving. Both apps just return
to the previous 'export/save' functionality where i am supposed to select a
file for saving (with the 'save-as' dialog)
So, this is an endless loop without ever getting my data saved...
No crash reports, no se-linux problems - i just get the feeling that the
'save-as' dialog is .... just closing by pressing the save-button without
triggering any action.
BUT, big but: bruno is an exception:
this flatpak electron app is using the flatpak lib
Freedesktop Platform org.freedesktop.Platform
freedesktop-sdk-23.08.30 23.08 system
and can still successfully save files.
Postman uses:
Freedesktop Platform org.freedesktop.Platform
freedesktop-sdk-24.08.16 24.08 system
so this is maybe a hint to the underlying problem?
Please investigate, as this might severly affect multiple apps (either flatpak
or rpms)
Experiments i did so far:
mongodb-compass is running as Xwayland app, 'xlsclients' shows the app in the
list when started.
I already added these envVars (QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb) and (GTK_USE_PORTAL=0)
without any change.
Another try was to start mongodb-compass with
[--ignore-additional-command-line-flags --ozone-platform-hint=auto] to force
native wayland-mode - this also does not help
Any further advice on this?
