Research direction

Start by reproducing the folder-selection hang using OBS Studio 27.0.1 in KDE on Ubuntu 20.04 or Pop!_OS, following the Output > Recording > Browse steps. Review the attached OBS log and compare the behavior with GNOME; done means the folder chooser completes selection instead of hanging in the reported Flatpak setup.
