The menu line is missing and Ctrl+Shift+P freezes the application

Software IDE 2.x
1

I am running Arch Linux, with KDE plasma (X11).
When I start IDE 2.3.2 from the command line, or from the KDE launcher, the Arduino IDE starts, but the menu line is missing. If I hit Ctrl+Shift+P Ctrl+Shift+P, the application freezes: the window doesn't respond to any mouse or keyboard input, and I have to kill it.

When I start Arduino IDE by executing 'arduino-ide_2.3.2_Linux_64bit.AppImage', I do have the menu line, and Ctrl+Shift+P works as expected.

What should I do to get the installed version to work?

This is what I get on stderr:

Ctl-shift -P is supposed to bring up the Command Palette I think, but not 100% sure as I drive a Mac and there it's Shift-Command-P. As far as the rest, it looks like a botched install.

I had exactly the same problem in Arch Linux and I solved it uninstalling arduino-ide and installing arduino-ide-bin from the AUR
