Description

Is there an existing issue for this?
  • I have searched the existing issues
Platform

Linux

OS version

CachyOS, kernel: Linux 6.17.3-2-cachyos

App version

6.4.6

Current Behavior

The app crashed, I don't know the cause, I only have one chat and was talking to my friend and then it crashed, and whenever I open the app it crashes shortly after decrypting the database, and the aforementioned chat doesn't show up in the sidebar anymore for the few seconds that it's open, so maybe it was caused by a message that's somehow causing the app to crash but I honestly have no idea because said messages won't load before it crashes.

Expected Behavior

The app shouldn't crash

Steps To Reproduce

Honestly no idea

Relevant log output
None

Research direction

The report names no files, tests, or reproducible entry point beyond launching the Flatpak and waiting through database decryption. Start by obtaining crash diagnostics for the Linux Flatpak and investigating the database-decryption stage and missing chat; done means identifying the cause and confirming the app opens without crashing.
