Description

I downloaded version 0.6.2. and run it on Linux Cinnamon 22.2. When I try to load ROMs I cannot select anything or even navigate to any folder. Screen just says "Select ROM".

In review page on Linux Mint forum I found another user with same issue, but on Linux Mint 21.1. https://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/blastem

The issue is not present on Blastem version 0.6.0. I currently use that to run games.

Research direction

Start by reproducing ROM selection in BlastEm 0.6.2 on Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon, then compare the behavior with version 0.6.0. Done means the Select ROM screen allows folder navigation and ROM selection again.
