Bug Description

Environment: The OS is Xubuntu 22.04.1. The kernel is Linux 5.15.0-48-generic. The architecture is 64-bit. The machine is Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th generation.

I'm using the snap version of the application. Command "gnome-mahjongg -v" yields "gnome-mahjongg 3.38.0". The launch command is "env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/gnome-mahjongg_gnome-mahjongg.desktop /snap/bin/gnome-mahjongg".

After startup, the application uses a lot of CPU; I've seen command top report over 30% usage. When the first game is finished, the usage goes to 100%. This makes application unresponsive, and I have to kill it via the command line or using command xkill. See the screenshot.

The application has started to behave only recently, probably after the update to this version.
