Beta 0.9.8 (Linux): Flicker when opening hamburger menu

[DSeeLP]

It flickers when opening the hamburger menu when the miniplayer is there. The flicker doesn't occur when in splitscreen mode.
It only appears when running the app in release mode.

I am currently trying to package the beta for NixOS.
I tested this on NixOS with my package and the repo inside a devshell to provide the necessary libraries.
It also happens with the provided binaries on Ubuntu 24.04.

Hi, that's a known issue with Flutter itself (https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issue/146807) and has already been fixed upstream (flutter-team-archive/engine#53103).
So it should be fixed in an upcoming Flutter version :)

Btw, there's already an m4 desktop file here in the repo, but it seems like you're creating one from scratch during build. Is there a reason for that?
I'd like to keep things (names, descriptions, etc.) as consistent as possible by reusing metadata across platforms if possible.

I didn't want to introduce a dependency on m4 and most packages don't have their install path hardcoded in the desktop file as it is expected that upon installation the programs would be in PATH.

Have you recently tried building it with a newer Flutter version? It might be fixed by now :)

I tried it with the latest version and it doesn't flicker anymore :)
