Automatic python modules documentation doesn't work

[ronnystandtke]

FreeCAD supports the automatic generation of information about available Python modules, classes and functions of FreeCAD (see https://wiki.freecad.org/Std_PythonHelp).

The documentation can be opened via the menu item "Help -> Automatic python modules documentation" or via the Python console the command "Gui.runCommand('Std_PythonHelp',0)".

This feature works without any issue in the distribution packages but, unfortunately, not in the flatpak version.

What's the error generated ?

[ronnystandtke]

There is no error message, neither on the command line, nor the report view or the Python console. There is no reaction at all.

if you launch freecad from a terminal and try to do this is there any output in the terminal?

Also please specify full version information of both the not working version and the working version (Help->About->Copy to clipboard)

As I already said, there is no output on the command line. I started FreeCAD in the terminal via
flatpak run org.freecadweb.FreeCAD
