texmaker lock up after saving

[mvavrek]

Binary package hint: texmaker

After opening a .tex file in texmaker (v1.8), the file can be edited, but after hitting save, the cursor disappears and the window doesn't accept any keyboard input. I can still click on different lines in the file, and it will highlight the line, but no cursor is present and nothing I type shows up. This is a major bug for me, as I have to restart the program after every save if I want to use it. After I restart the program, it works again but only until I have to save again. I have tried on multiple occasions, with different .tex files, and same problem occurs. I am using Jaunty Alpha 5, recently updated (<2 days ago).
