        Hi,
as had been said earlier, the error about the display:

is the clue. You said it works fine everywhere else, thus this is a
problem in the way the Chrome runs the Evolution. It can be it runs it
in an environment where the DISPLAY variable is missing. I do not
understand why it's doing that for the Flatpak and not for the native
app, but it can be just another (Flatpak?) quirk somewhere under the
hood. Maybe flatpak package had been updated? Or the new build hardened
some flags, hard to guess.

With respect of getting the older version of the Evolution from the
Flathub.org, you can get list of the available versions with:

   $ flatpak remote-info flathub org.gnome.Evolution// --log | more

which gives you a list of the commits and you pick one and then apply
it with:

   $ flatpak update --commit ID org.gnome.Evolution

thus for example to revert to the 3.44.3 release you run:

   $ flatpak update --commit c7a8d2741616cefb7faa53bbd8ec2ae27a20244e5cadbecff2dc82416b36f8d2 
org.gnome.Evolution

Hope it helps.
        Bye,
