On freshly installed Silverblue, org.gnome.font-viewer crashes when opened through Activities.

[lruzicka]

Describe the bug On a freshly installed Silverblue 40 Workstation, the Fonts application (org.gnome.font-viewer) crashes when started with Activities. The stupid thing is that it only crashes once and works for all consecutive attempts. Also, when started with flatpak run org.gnome.font-viewer command, it works all the time.

This can only be seen on a newly installed Silverblue. Once the application has started successfully, it will do so consecutively.

To Reproduce

1. Install Silverblue from the latest ISO.
2. Press super to open Activities.
3. Type Fonts.
4. Press Enter.
5. See the crash, or alternatively the app will not start at all.
6. Try again, this time, it will start.

Expected behavior The application should start successfully even the first time.

OS version:

• org.fedoraproject.Platform:39
• org.fedoraproject.Sdk:39
• org.gnome.font-viewer:45

What happens if you run coredumpctl dump > core directly?

Also, is this crash the most recent one listed in the output of coredumpctl? If not, you need to use:

flatpak-coredumpctl org.gnome.font-viewer -m /app/bin/org/gnome/font-viewer

By default, it will use the latest coredump, regardless of source.

I tried to reproduce with gnome-font-viewer 46.0 from Flathub without success on Silverblue 40. The app does not crash.
