Description
Hi!
Arduino app freezes if I open Boards Manager. Worked fine before latest macos update to 11.2.3.
Board manager window opens and check for updates but then cannot scroll window and I see contant CPU usage.
Arduino 1.8.13

Research direction
Start by reproducing the freeze through the Boards Manager in Arduino 1.8.13 on macOS 11.2.3 with an M1 MacBook Pro. Investigate the Boards Manager entry point and determine what happens after it checks for updates; done means the window remains responsive, scrolls normally, and does not cause constant CPU usage.
