How is this question "off-topic"?
@Kulfy Maybe, but. 1. This is a bug that is fixed in a later release so bug reporting is less important but the link to the bug is still there for anyone to post a new report to. 2. The bug results in a possible security issue as the outdated flatpak never gets updated without the workaround. Sot this answer to you link may be most applicable: meta.askubuntu.com/a/5306/65969 specifically "post the question and immediately self-answer"

Thanks, maybe I shouldn't have added the emphasis in the first place but I was trying to help the "drive-by's". Probably shouldn't worry about them anyway- they are the ones that likely just enter any cli command just because it is the first thing the come across and by the time they get to us they have a spaghetti system they want us to help fix.....

@guiverc thanks for the conformation (and the upvote) I didn't see how it was off topic unless maybe you only skimmed the question, saw "bug" and voted off topic without reading but it got such a quick close vite I had to wonder if I was wrong

Who is the founder of the subsite Ask Ubuntu?
@JeffAtwood While you may not be able to upvote, you should be able to accept the answer. Just click the grey arrow below the voting arrows so that it turns green(the accept counts for more than the upvote, upvote=+10, accept=+15, you could still upvote when you get the rep)

What's wrong, Ask Ubuntu?: The "Tech Support" Impression
Upon reflection, I may need to clarify my point. If by "we are not tech support" you mean that "I just screwed up my computer, I have less than no knowledge and I'm going to need an hour or more of one on one time to try to even figure out how to figure out what is wrong" then I agree with that.....That is the kind of help that you might get from Microsoft(well if you've ever called then you know that is not even close to what you get). maybe I should say we provide simple tech support. (any contact with MS support will convince you that we do it much better anyway)

ummm, I have no Idea about the how that is way above my level of experience, I was just putting in my 2 cents(it might be more like 1.5 cents) only barely literate when it comes to something like that(and not at all in regards to html coding) (but I am a good cook, does that count for anything???)

What's wrong, Ask Ubuntu?: The "Tech Support" Impression
+1:Not sure why the down vote, your answer seemed good to me.....I was going to try the Cinnamon Desktop after Unity took away the dodge windows(actually, I did for a very brief time) but was put off by the utter chaos of the Mint forums and the apparent complete lack of support. We need to be very careful not to become that. Luckily I was saved by JorgeCastro's script that hacked the dodge feature back in(thanks again Jorge). However, I also have to agree with the OP that the "log dump" with no real question or explanation is useless to everybody....
