OS 8.0.1 Updates Breaks Popular Flatpak Apps like Nextcloud & KeepassXC

[BMiZEL]

What Happened?

Certain popular and indispensible Flatpak Apps no longer function, since the last updates during the last 7-10 days. It appears they no longer can access the file system to read their database and write to

save.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Files or open Nextcloud Flatpak App
2. click Save in KeepassXC Flatpak App

The Apps have the correct permissions under Settings > Applications

I tried to even fix it manually with:

1. "flatpak overide >package_name< --filesystem=/home/xxx", as well as
2. "flatpak override --reset >package_name<" and
3. "sudo flatpak repair --user && flatpak repair --system".

Nothing works.

Expected Behavior

Apps to function normally and that they can read and write again

OS Version

8.x (Circe)

Session Type

Classic Session (X11, This is the default)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

Log Output

Hardware Info

This seems unlikely to be due to any recent changes in Files and Files does not mediate access to the host filesystem by Flatpaks. So I'll transfer this to triage for now.

@jeremypw Thank you.

I managed a workaround by deleting the Flatpaks and installing as follows:

1. Nextcloud App Image works and the graphics are even much clearer than the Flatpak

2. KeepassXC installed using the PPA and works well.
