Addon manager locks up, FreeCAD doesn't launch correctly until after reboot

[abowers]

I guess this is where you report bugs?

I'm on the Flatpak version of FreeCAD on Linux Mint. If I open the Addon Manager and click on an addon, it populates the right-hand window of the Addon Manager with data, then hard locks up. I click a few times and I get the "Addon Manager is taking too long to respond. Force quit?" message, and after doing that, FreeCAD won't launch properly until I reboot the computer. If I try, it gets to the point where it draws the window but it hangs before it draws its own graphics.

Running it from the terminal, that lockup produces the following error:

Thanks for the report -- we'll be releasing FreeCAD 0.20 shortly, which won't have that bug in it. If you'd like to try it out, check out the builds here:
