Game Name?

Chibi-Robo, but I think the issue is game-agnostic.

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

This is an intermittent problem that I am seeing. I click on the app, and Dolphin opens, seems to load for a bit, then fails to launch. Clicking on it immediately again will successfully launch it.

I have to wait a bit for the problem to show up again, maybe a few minutes. The game itself runs fine, so I think that the issue is just the app. The .deb version works, but I'd rather use the Flatpak.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Steps taken on Debian 12.9 stable with system fully updated.

1. Download the flatpak version of Dolphin.
2. Click the Dolphin icon to open the app. The app will sometimes hang as it tries to launch. Clicking on the icon again launches it successfully. Waiting a few minutes seems to make the problem appear again.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

If you mean the .deb version, which is the other version I used, then version 5.0-17995

Is the issue present in the latest release? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest release.

Yes. Version 2503.

If the issue isn't present in the latest release, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

N/A

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

The problem is the launching of the app, so I don't know if a fifolog will help here.
