[Pkg-blender-maintainers] Bug#404706: blender: Sometimes user interface is unusable

[Rémi Perrot]

Package: blender
Version: 2.42a-5
Severity: important

Sometimes when I start blender, display is correct but some buttons are
inactive and menu like 'File' do not appear when I click on.

If I press space I have either no menu and even the 'q' key do not make the
application to quit.

But some time I retry to start it all is OK

I use Gnome desktop.
