Hi, thanks for taking the time to report this issue and contributing to Ubuntu :)
I confirmed this issue (along with the one with firefox snap vs deb).
This is a bit bigger of an issue, as it means some non-privileged users won't be able to report issues (or at least would give up as soon as the prompt comes up), thus marking as Medium.
