System Information
Operating system: Fedora 30
Graphics card: nvidia

Blender Version
Broken: 2.90.0 flatpak
Worked: just before 2.90.0

Short description of error

When I open a blend file from Files(folder or navigator), it doesn't open the file but just starts blender program. But if I open the same file from blender, it works fine.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Double click any .blend file.

result: blender starts but my file is not opened.
expected result: Open my blender file directly.

this sounds similar to #77443 (Ubuntu: Opening .blend files opens a new file) which was a problem in Snap builds.
And also to #66722 (Blender stuck on default scene if some other app takes focus after double clicking file in Finder) but that's just a macOS issue with very specific steps of stealing focus.

There's a report at flatpak Blender package maintainers issues too https://github.com/flathub/org.blender.Blender/issues/61

@jesterking : since this got fixed for Snap on our side, is there something we can do for flatpak as well?

@lichtwerk, the maintainer will have to update the build script such that the blender.sh script it creates knows how to pass on to Blender arguments given to it.

I am not familiar with flatpak. I assume the maintainer of it knows best.

Maybe peaking at how the snap version was fixed gives enough clue to figure it out: 3da4724f72

"type": "script",
     "commands": [
     "cd /app/blender",
     "exec ./blender"
    ],

That looks wrong.
