Error on Ubuntu 20.04 - 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'

[gwi2014]

Prerequisites

• [x] I have searched the Issues list for open and closed issues and believe this is a unique, currently unreported bug.

Describe the bug

I installed the flatpak on Ubuntu 20.04 and it crashes instantly with

flatpak run com.github.needleandthread.vocal 

(com.github.needleandthread.vocal:2): Gdk-ERROR **: 13:59:29.117: The program 'com.github.needleandthread.vocal' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 210 error_code 11 request_code 149 (unknown) minor_code 2)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Thanks so much for your report! I believe this was partially caused by our video playback implementation, which has been removed in the newest version of Vocal. I'm going to mark this as fixed, but please let me know if you continue to experience issues once the new release is published in a few weeks time. Thank you!
