Wire starts a process in the background consuming almost 100% of CPU core (/proc/self/exe) #8975

Description

@vikturek

It happens on all three computers running Ubuntu 24.04. When I start Wire, several new processes appear in the background. All of them are wire-desktop, but most of them were executed as '/proc/self/exe ...', and one of them is consuming almost 100% of one CPU core. Here is the listing of the command "ps -o pid,comm,args $(pgrep wire-desktop)":

The process with pid 7854 is the one consuming the CPU. I can also provide some system details, but I am not sure, which information is relevant to this issue.
