Description

### How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

### Version

2.34.1
### Steps to Reproduce

1. `pip install 'connexion[flask]==3.*' sentry_sdk gunicorn uvicorn`
2. Create `app.py` and `openapi.yaml` as below

openapi.yaml

```yaml
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
title: Test
version: 1.0.0
paths:
/api:
get:
operationId: app.test_op
responses:
'200':
description: Test response
content:
application/json:
schema:
type: string
```


app.py

```python
import connexion
import sentry_sdk

def debug(evt, hint):
print(evt["contexts"]["trace"]["trace_id"])
return evt

sentry_sdk.init(debug=True, before_send=debug, traces_sample_rate=1.0)

def test_op():
return "Hello world"

if __name__ == "__main__":
app = connexion.FlaskApp("app")
app.add_api("openapi.yaml")
app.run(port=5000)
```

3. `python app.py`
4. Access http://localhost:5000/api a few times

pip freeze --all

### Expected Result

Trace ID changes for each request, as transactions are created

### Actual Result

Each request prints the same trace_id (and all events end up in the same transaction)
