Fcitx5 not working over some flatpak apps (e.g. ZOOM, Notesnook, etc)

Hey yall, recently I have started using apps like ZOOM and Notesnook app, however I cannot change language to either fcitx5 Korean/Japanese IM(Input Manager) for some reason. Other flatpak apps like Zen browser/Firefox/Chrome works fine but for these apps, does not work for some reason. Is there any known workaround for this? I am using the KDE version of the Bazzite 42.

Methods I have tried:
  • Setting GTK, QT variables, no luck. (Instead it asks me to remove these two variable and leave one only through notifications)
  • Tried adding variables through Flatseal, no luck.
  • Tried enabling home/library access through Flatseal, no luck.
Solution
You could try using an appimage instead of a flatpak with https://github.com/probonopd/Zoom.AppImage/. Alternatively you could install Zoom in a distrobox and see if it behaves better than the flatpak

An AppImage for the Zoom desktop application (until Zoom provides an official one) - probonopd/Zoom.AppImage
