Slack desktop needs to restart on every launch

6.7.6-arch1-1
Wayland, sway, slack-desktop 4.36.140-1.

This is a weird one. If I launch Slack via `$menu`:

set $menu exec rofi -show run -monitor -1 | xargs swaymsg exec --

it insists it needs to restart, shortly after launch. This is a consistent issue, never seen it behave differently (for months now, through various updates). After the restart, the application behaves normally.

Confoundingly, when I launch via terminal to capture debug output, the problem does not occur and Slack continues to run just fine. Bit at a loss to know what's going on... anyone seen this behaviour before?
