Positon immediately crashes if I click on any item in the top menu bar (File, Edit, Selection etc)

Hi,
I installed Positron Version 2025.01.0 (system setup) build 39. I've installed it on a guest Linux Mint 22, running inside a Virtual Box with a Windows 11 host.

I installed the *.deb package using:

sudo dpkg -i Positron-2025.01.0-159.deb

Positron starts OK, and the R console is active. However, whenever I click on any item in the top menu bar (like File), Positron immediately crashes. (Unfortunately, I can't even paste the Help -> About info because Positron crashes when I click on Help).

Happy to supply more info if needed.

Thanks

Finlay
