Description
The version 1.8.11 IDE goes haywire on my Ubuntu 19.10 machine. Reverting to IDE version 1.8.10 is fine, though.
It's difficult for me to give much more information because the UI is completely non-functional, i.e. no menus etc. All I get is the two sections, with a huge cursor in the bottom one. I can close it without a problem, but that's all I can do.

Research direction
Reproduce the non-functional IDE UI on Ubuntu 19.10 with Arduino IDE 1.8.11, then compare the behavior with version 1.8.10. The issue does not name a source file, test, or entry point; done means the IDE menus and normal UI sections render and remain usable in the affected version.
