Description

Hello, I did an update of the flatpak today on CachyOS. The first thing I noticed was the spotify UI looked a bit blown out. Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about:

So, I did what anyone would do, I restarted the spotify app, and then it looked like normal. Here's a screenshot so you can compare:

After a while, it goes back to being crunchy, I guess. Maybe it happens when my computer goes to sleep, but I just manually slept it and woke it up, and the UI still looks normal.

Overall, it's nothing bad enough to make the app unusable, and for now, all it needs is a single restart to get it to look normal temporarily.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the saturation and contrast change after the Flatpak update on CachyOS, comparing the two screenshots and checking whether sleep/wake triggers it. Confirm whether restarting the Spotify app consistently restores the normal appearance; done means identifying a reliable trigger or narrowing the issue to the app, Flatpak, or desktop environment.
