Yes

I've encountered that same issue, but didn't (and still don't) know how to fix it.

[RocketRobz]

v1.2.1 should hopefully fix the issue. If it does not fix it, then idk.

I just tried v1.2.1 but it didn't fix the issue for me unfortunately. Closing the menu or putting the system to sleep while the menu is open works fine; it's only when opening the menu where it freezes. That too it happens completely randomly.
