Clicking on notification window crashes Mattermost when owned by root

See original GitHub issue

Summary

Clicking on the notification window crashes the Mattermost desktop app when its directory is not user-writable

Steps to reproduce

Fedora Workstation 36
mattermost-desktop-5.1.0-linux-x64.tar
extract to /opt/mattermost-desktop-5.1.0-linux-x64/
generate the Desktop Launcher and moved to $HOME/.local/share/applications/Mattermost.desktop
run chown -R root:root /opt/mattermost-desktop-5.1.0-linux-x64/
Start Mattermost
receive a notification
click on it

Expected behavior

Click on the notification brings Mattermost window to the top and takes me to the channel where the notification came from.

Observed behavior (that appears unintentional)

Mattermost application crashes and needs to be restarted.

Possible fixes

Don’t change ownership of the unpacked application to root with the chown step

After I updated my system, I am no longer able to reproduce the issue. I guess it can be closed.

I didn’t find it (but had done a reboot in between). Since then, I could not reproduce the issue. If I manage to reproduce it, I will update the information.
