Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/5998

Bug Description

Operating System: EndeavourOS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
Kernel Version: 6.9.10-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

How to Reproduce

Download AppImage from website, and then fix it by utilizing https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/3836#issuecomment-1855700903 or https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/3836#issuecomment-2294867618

Expected Behavior

App launched without problem.

Operating System

Arch Linux/EndeavourOS

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.6.7.1

Screenshots

Additional Context

This error only happened in Wayland. Switching the GTK backend to X11 can avoid this issue. The workaround is to set GDK_BACKEND=x11 when launching the AppImage.

You can try the workaround I mentioned above; it works for me. Unfortunately, by default, the app still throws this error.
