SOLVED: I resolved this by resetting my locales (since my system wasn't able to locate LC_ALL) and desktop launch option. Go to: System Settings > Regional Settings > Reset all and then set desktop launcher to Exec=flameshot gui in /usr/share/applications/flameshot.desktop .

I am at a loss. I would suggest contacting the Flameshot Developer on this one...

Flatpak can be seen as using the Rolling Release. So it is likely a latest release.
You might try installing the Flatpak version and see if it behaves properly.
