Native Client Path

See original GitHub issue

System information:

Operating system: Linux Mint 20.1 xfce
DBeaver version: Version 7.3.3.202101161839

Connection specification:

Database: PostgreSQL 13.1
Driver name: PostgreSQL

Describe the problem you’re observing:

Unable to create Backup/Restore because of invalid native client path

Steps to reproduce, if exist:

Edit Connection
Edit Driver Settings
Native Client (tab)
Add Home (button)
Select Native Client path which is in my case /usr/ but the path showed as /run/user/1000/doc/6112140e/usr (this is wrong I think)
Tried to make a backup, but I got this error:

Error executing process
  Cannot run program "/run/user/1000/doc/6112140e/usr/bin/pg_dump" (in directory "/run/user/1000/doc/6112140e/usr/bin"): error=2, No such file or directory

This bug continues to occur in flatpak Version 7.3.0.202011291229 while it doesn’t occur in gz Version 7.3.0.202011291229 (dbeaver-ce-7.3.0-linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz)

EDIT: I forgot to mention; This issue occurs although I gave DBeaver full access to files system as shown below:
