Hello @ianmacartney thank you very much for sending your feedback!

I also confirmed the same behavior with Slack Desktop app. It doesn't seem to be a Bolt-specific issue but an issue of App Home feature. I've shared this feedback with the App Home development team.

Thanks again for taking the time to report this!
