Duplicate Check
- [x] I have searched the opened issues and there are no duplicates
Describe the bug
The SearchBar component in Flet causes the application to crash immediately upon clicking it, with no error messages in the console except for package:media_kit_libs_linux registered. The issue occurs on Linux Mint 22.1 but does not occur on Windows with the same code. The crash persists even with a minimal example and after installing all recommended system dependencies.
Environment:
- Operating System: Linux Mint 22.1
- Flet Version: 0.28.3
- Python Version: 3.12
Dependencies (from requirements.txt): flet==0.28.3 httpx==0.28.1 httpx-socks>=0.8.0 aiohttp>=3.9.5 aiohttp_socks==0.10.0 beautifulsoup4==4.12.3 fake_useragent==2.0.3 numpy==2.2.2 requests==2.32.3 tqdm==4.67.1 lxml==5.3.0 fuzzywuzzy==0.18.0 python-Levenshtein==0.27.1 python-socks~=2.7.1

import flet as ft
def main(page: ft.Page):
page.title = "Test SearchBar"

ft.app(target=main)
