I just tried in the terminal. It seems to launch faster there, so I can't reproduce the bug. Though, while running it prints out the messages below and when I close it, it does not return to the command line, . As can be seen, I interrupted it half way through.
I will try again after a reboot. I can still make it crash if I start it normally from the launcher. One think I forgot to write was that I have to start write not exactly when launching, but when the window starts loading - that is, when the frame is showing, but the content has not yet loaded. As said this takes longer if not launched by the terminal. I had someone else reproduce it too on his computer and the result was the same.
