Describe the bug
this started happening today, i'm unsure which component is responsible, sorry!

when downloading a file in slack, i click "open containing folder" and would normally expect the files app to open very shortly after.

Sep 17 09:30:33 pop-os cosmic-comp[4790]: [GL] GL_INVALID_VALUE error generated. Size and/or offset out of range.

i'm unsure if this bug is in cosmic-files-applet, xdg-desktop-portal-cosmic or perhaps in the actual xdg-desktop-portal executable

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. download a file from slack
  2. click "open containing folder"

this also happens in firefox (system), but to a much lesser extent (hangs for ~2-3 instead)

Expected behavior
i would expect the cosmic-files app to open reasonably quickly as has been the case in the past
