Additional Information

I've tried killing xdg-document-portal and restarting it.

Output of env G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all /usr/libexec/xdg-document-portal --replace --verbose when I attempt to start the flatpak:

Are other Flatpak apps affected by this, or is this specific to Spotify?

[Lyton505]

All flatpaks were, at the time of writing, affected by this. However, everything seems to be working now

[chrsrns]

This happens to me. I still don't know the cause of it. A complete restart always fixes it, but only for the time being. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix it?
