Flatpak Version 24.04.1 breaks Anki’s ability to close. The program will appear to close but will fail to start up the next time you open it.

Here’s the debug log:

```auto
sakura@localhost ~> flatpak run net.ankiweb.Anki
Anki starting...
Initial setup...
Preparing to run...
Trying to use X11, but it is not available. Falling back to Wayland, which has some bugs:
https://github.com/ankitects/anki/issues/1767
Starting main loop...
Window should have been closed: <aqt.progress.ProgressDialog object at 0x7f55c6c2dee0>
2024-04-30 16:06:46,160:WARNING:waitress: unhandled close event
Error in sys.excepthook:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Original exception was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "aqt.taskman", line 142, in _on_closures_pending
  File "aqt.taskman", line 86, in <lambda>
  File "aqt.progress", line 239, in do_window_cleanup
RuntimeError: wrapped C/C++ object of type QTimer has been deleted

```

The program then remains open indefinitely despite the window being closed. Subsequent attempts to open Anki fail:

```auto
sakura@localhost ~> flatpak run net.ankiweb.Anki
Anki starting...
Initial setup...
Preparing to run...
Trying to use X11, but it is not available. Falling back to Wayland, which has some bugs:
https://github.com/ankitects/anki/issues/1767
Already running; reusing existing instance.

```

The program can only be reopened after force killing the program with `flatpak kill net.ankiweb.Anki`

I solved the issue by downgrading to commit `5fb2e0bf6067c2d336cfa84059e7883fc6927ac5f332dfee4b5dba9735225318` published on 2024-01-11

A fix for this is coming in the next update.
