[Solved] Cannot launch OBS via start menu on KDE Wayland

I'm using KDE Plasma 5.27.6. KDE Framework is 5.108.0. Qt version is 5.15.10.

I meet a problem: If I launch the OBS from the start menu, it doesn't response and no window pops up. But the strange thing is that I can find the /usr/bin/obs process from the HTOP. If I launch OBS in terminal, there is no such problem.

I have installed all the package that OBS may need to work on wayland:

qt6-base
xdg-desktop-portal
xdg-desktop-portal-kde
pipewire
pipewire-alsa
pipewire-audio
pipewire-jack
pipewire-pulse
wireplumber

Here is the log I get

22:28:26.933: Platform: Wayland
22:28:26.933: CPU Name: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics
22:28:26.933: CPU Speed: 3309.339MHz
22:28:26.933: Physical Cores: 8, Logical Cores: 16
22:28:26.933: Physical Memory: 13821MB Total, 2469MB Free
22:28:26.933: Kernel Version: Linux 6.4.7-zen1-1-zen
22:28:26.933: Distribution: "Arch Linux" Unknown
22:28:26.933: Desktop Environment: KDE (KDE)
22:28:26.933: Session Type: wayland

The OBS seems to get stuck after the last line of the log.

Any Ideas about the problem ?

I did some investigations and found out that OBS can be launched normally via KRunner or in the terminal.

I confirmed that this bug is fixed on KDE Plasma 5.27.8.
