  not have any fixes implemented according to my issue.

• My issue describes one of the unstable and/or not fully implemented
  features.

• I have found a workaround to mitigate or temporarily fix this issue

Looks like a duplicate of #245. That being said, Flatpaks aren't going to be fixed because they're not maintained by me. Most issues on Flatpaks are due sandboxing and I can do nothing about it on my side.

As an alternative, for Majaro there're AUR repositories available. I recommend you trying out webcord-git – I believe it rarely breaks at runtime, in most cases it ends up with build error on updates (so it won't break at runtime and you will still end up using older but functional WebCord package). You can also use webcord if you preffer using stable releases (I still believe bleeding-edge WebCord is still quite stable from my experience and usually just contains unfinished features that might need some feedback from the community) or webcord-bin if you don't want to build WebCord at all. Be aware the last two PKGBUILDs are not maintained directly by me, but AFAIK webcord has some hopes to be adopted by TU in the future (and be a part of the community repo) if any is interested in doing so and also probably if WebCord will be considered as popular enough and receive enough votes to be noticed.

I'm also trying my best to optimize the webcord-git in order to build faster.

Actually, that's even more terrifying bug, considering:

In my minimal testing, this also happens on Firefox and Gnome Web. However, randomly, I was able to stay logged in on Firefox.

If something breaks in completely different browser engine, it could mean the bug is not with both engines or applications. I don't know what could cause that horrible breakages, but I've never experienced something like that, even on more bleeding-edge yet stable Arch Linux distribution. But I would recommend to avoid using Flatpaks anyway (or at least be aware of the consequences of using them) for browsers and web applications, they usually depend on a lot of system resources and can easily break due to the sandboxing.
