[Bug]: Difference between bottles-cli run and launching from the GUI

[promisedlandt]

Describe the bug

My launched application behaves differently depending on whether it's started from the bottles GUI or with bottles-cli.

I'm trying to setup media keys for foobar2000, running in a bottle. I encountered two different issues, not sure whether they are connected.

When starting from the GUI, and I execute flatpak run --command=bottles-cli com.usebottles.bottles run --args-replace -p Foobar2000 -b "Foobar2000" --args "/playpause", playback starts (as expected), but the Bottles window closes. Further invocations of playpause work as expected - playback pauses or starts.

When starting from a terminal with flatpak run --command=bottles-cli com.usebottles.bottles run --args-replace -p Foobar2000 -b "Foobar2000", the application opens fine. But when running flatpak run --command=bottles-cli com.usebottles.bottles run --args-replace -p Foobar2000 -b "Foobar2000" --args "/playpause", playback starts for ~half a second, then the application closes.
This is problematic, since this is how the desktop file works.

Using shell instead of run, e.g. flatpak run --command=bottles-cli com.usebottles.bottles shell --input "c:\\\Program\\ Files\\\foobar2000\\\foobar2000.exe /playpause" -b "Foobar2000" behaves exactly the same.

To Reproduce

For the Bottles window closing:

1. Create a new bottle and install foobar2000 in it, and add it as a program
2. Start bottles with flatpak run com.usebottles.bottles
3. In the bottle, start foobar2000
4. Run flatpak run --command=bottles-cli com.usebottles.bottles run --args-replace -p Foobar2000 -b "Foobar2000" --args "/playpause"

For the foobar2000 window closing:

1. Create a new bottle and install foobar2000 in it, and add it as a program
2. Start foobar2000 with flatpak run --command=bottles-cli com.usebottles.bottles run --args-replace -p Foobar2000 -b "Foobar2000"
3. Run flatpak run --command=bottles-cli com.usebottles.bottles run --args-replace -p Foobar2000 -b "Foobar2000" --args "/playpause"

Running flatpak with -vv shows no suspicious entries, there is no output after bottles is started.
