Unconfirmed with v4.2.7.2 under mint 17 x64.

Bit strange that the end user has to wait for almost 4 months till the stable version comes out, which fixes this bug. Or to downgrade to the 4.2 branch which is almost EOL.
Would be nice if the 4.3 branch would also get fixed.
Comment 3 tommy27 2014-10-31 04:34:54 UTC 
more tests...
no freeze with 4.2.6 and 4.3.0 releases
freeze in 4.3.1 and 4.3.2

so it seems there's a regression starting in 4.3.1

has anybody tried 4.3.3 ?

if bug is persistent in 4.3.x we may try to bibisect it and identify what broke it in 4.3.x and what fixed in 4.4.x hoping that a fix backport is possible
Comment 4 MM 2014-10-31 13:32:19 UTC 
Bug is also present in 4.3.3 on mint 17 x64 and under windows 7 x64
Comment 5 tommy27 2014-11-01 13:47:05 UTC 
adding bibisectRequest to whiteboad.

it would be interesting to understand which committ broke it in 4.3.1 and which one fixed in 4.4.0+
