Slack crashes once attempted to maximize its window

[zdohnal]

Hi all,

today if I try to maximize the Slack window to the maximal range of my monitors (buildin one - 15,6" - or external monitors), it crashes with:

/app/bin/com.slack.Slack: line 12:     4 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) env TMPDIR=${XDG_CACHE_HOME} XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR=$(xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD) zypak-wrapper /app/extra/slack -s ${EXTRA_ARGS} "$@"

Other logs from journal looks fishy - looks like the app tries to connect to some process with ptrace:

I see there is a new commit in this repo today which updates the Slack inside flatpak, but flatpak update does not find this new version.

OS: Fedora 40 Desktop: Gnome with Wayland Slack version (flatpak run com.slack.Slack --version): 4.38.121

[Leniwcowaty]

Can confirm, the same issue, the same error code. OS: Mint 21.3 Desktop: Cinnamon (X11) Slack version: 4.38.121

[ZVNexus]

Upstream issue, supposedly going to be fixed in the next version.

[Leniwcowaty]

If that's the issue, I suggest downgrading to previous version - 4.37.101

Run: flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.slack.Slack sudo flatpak update --commit=[corresponding commit] com.slack.Slack
