Here's the system console log of the whole thread. There are two errors at the bottom.

I also face this issue. This problem goes away after rebooting, but if Flameshot is exited, you cannot relaunch it.
There is a bug in later versions of our external dependency "SingleApplication" https://github.com/itay-grudev/SingleApplication/issues/198
@mmahmoudian we can consider rolling back the version of SingleApplication. Unfortunately that blocks a port to Qt6.
