Hi Luca,

Thank you for the bug report.  I am not able to reproduce this bug
locally, but I believe it might be related to other reports of issues
with hangs related to GUI-based applications that use threads, for example:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=797595
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=814901
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802701

Specifically, if you could try the fix suggested in the following and
report your findings, that would be helpful.

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802701#25

I am also modifying the severity of the bug to important from grave.
findbugs is used in contexts other than just the GUI mode (for example,
on the command-line as part of a build chain), and does work in that
context and also as a GUI for others.

Thank you,
tony
