Description
More details here: https://github.com/khvzak/mlua/issues/184
I'm trying to figure out a very strange interaction between rfd and mlua that breaks the latter in very subtle ways. This issue can only be reproduced when using the gtk-3 backend on Linux. I tried switching to xdg-portal and that one seems unaffected.
I'm reporting this here in case you have an idea of something in the gtk-3 backend that might be introducing some subtle UB? I honestly don't know where the issue lies in, so I'm reporting in both places 😄

Research direction
Start by reading the linked mlua issue #184, then compare rfd's gtk-3 and xdg-portal backends on Linux. Done means reproducing the interaction, identifying whether the gtk-3 backend causes the failure, and documenting or fixing the confirmed cause.
