Cannot launch program in terminal using "Launch in Terminal" from the programs list

Dear Bottles devs,

I started having this issue since about 2 updates ago (currently on the latest as of writing this v51.21) where I could not launch programs from the list with a terminal.

NOTE: Its all Flatpak'd (on Pop!_OS).

Looking at the output when running Bottles from the terminal with flatpak run ... it says the following:

Command: easyterm.py -d -p "#00ffff #2b2d2e" -c 'bash -c '"'"'/usr/bin/gamemoderun /home/<username>/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/runners/wine-ge-proton8-26/bin/wine64 /home/<username>/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/Gaming/drive_g/<rest-of-path-to-some-exe-file>'"'"''
/bin/sh: line 1: /app/bin/easyterm.py: cannot execute: required file not found

and after diggint around in the sandbox myself, I genuinely could not find (using find <path> -inum <inode-number> with all paths that would make sense) that easyterm.py script eventhough it was strangely apparently hard-linked (bcs there are 2 links under the same INode).

Have you perhaps moved that elsewhere or gone about launching a terminal a different way or something along those lines?

Thanks in advance for the help and of course for the magnificent work put into this software! Cheers!
