[bug] Opening a webview window from Rust on linux fails parsing the url

[ugniussle]

Describe the bug

Sometimes when opening a webview window on Linux from Rust with WebviewUrl::App the window opens but the url of it is Err(InvalidUrl(RelativeUrlWithoutBase)). This causes the window to be empty.

I say sometimes because this problem goes away somewhat randomly. Things that made it disappear are not closing the splash screen and disabling the splash screen.

Reproduction

Have an new_playlist.html in the public directory {project}/public/new_playlist.html.

    let window_url = "/new_playlist.html";
    println!("window url: {}", window_url);

    let new_window = tauri::WebviewWindowBuilder::new(
        &app,
        "new_playlist",
        WebviewUrl::App(window_url.into())
    ).build();

    match new_window {
        Ok(_window) => {
            println!("Window created: {:?}", _window.url());
            _window.set_title("New Playlist");
            _window.set_size(tauri::LogicalSize::new(200, 200));
            _window.show();
        },
        Err(e) => {
            error!("Error creating window {label}: {e}");
            return Err(())
        },
    };

Expected behavior

The url of the window gets recognized correctly and the webview content loads.
