Describe the bug

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but for some reason, my shortcut won't load into Pojav directly from the bookmark (shortcut URL) unless I convert it to a private app. Instead, it just opens the live container but doesn't load into Pojav itself . It's not a huge issue, but I haven't seen this with other applications before, so I was wondering if it's a known issue with Pojav as a shared app when using live container.

In the first half of the video below, I try to launch Pojav Launcher from the shortcut as a shared application. The second half shows it working correctly when set up as a private app. I'd really prefer if it worked as a shared application though 🙂

Instructions to reproduce

Video provided has visual instructions to reproduce.

What version of LiveContainer are you using?

Version 3.4.0 - Release (main/703e054)

It turns out that the JIT pop up will not show if the app's banner is not in the view

Ahh, btw can confirm the nightly build does indeed work to fix this, awesome!
