App does not launch

[sebastianlay]

What Happened?

The app does not launch when clicking on the icon in the dock or when running flatpak run org.gnome.Epiphany. This is an issue with flatpak and mixed locales. I have found the solution in the following issue: flatpak/flatpak#5497

I am not sure if this is the right place for this issue. Feel free to move it or to redirect me to the correct repo.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install elementary and choose different languages for "Region" and "Format" in the language selection (for example "United States" and "Germany")
2. Click on the "Web" icon in the dock
3. The app does not open
4. Run the following command: flatpak config --set languages "en;de" (corresponding to the languages you chose in step 1)
5. Run the following command: flatpak update
6. Click on the "Web" icon in the dock
7. The app does open

Expected Behavior

The app should work out of the box and not require additional commands when setting up the system with mixed locales.

Hmm I can't reproduce this in a fresh install of OS 8:
