Unfortunately, the situation is even worse, now I can't connect at all
(not even after a minute or so). It all seems pretty bugged. Whatever
I click (retry communications, select computer...) I don't get an
expected response but only blocking, "nothing happens" and other
(circular) errors. Weird.

Here is what I get on the console, if it's of any use:

I've just checked again and I can confirm your report and therefore reopen 
this bug. I could have sworn that it was fixed with the new release. The 
patch I sent upstream fixed it, but they only applied one part of the patch, 
which is apparently not enough.

Thanks again,
Frank
