BUG: [2.0.3] Freezing User Interface (Settings)

Problem Description

Hello,

just a quick bug report: most times, not EACH time, when I open Flow Launcher settings, it freezes after some clicks; no matter what is done. This ALWAYS seems to be only occuring the very first time I open the settings. To solve it, I close them using the »X« button, which still works, and re-open it again. This time, it is behaving normally.

This error feels like a frozen Windows application but the usual error is not shown. It feels more as if the UI just does not render or update since I still can click the close button top right (even though he does not even get red when hovered). The app does not even crash or something and maybe the settings are even functional but do not update the visuals anymore. This is the best I can explain it.

If you need technical details or something, just tell me. Since there is not error or crash, most likely nothing is in the logs.

Best regards,

Tim

Confirmed happening to me too.

An example of an action that would trigger the freeze:

1. Open the search UI by Alt-Space
2. Right click -> Settings
3. Click About
4. Click Clear logs (when logs are present)

The UI then freezes
