Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[marmuta (marmuta)]

I'm pretty sure the cause of this bug was again an incorrect python thread state, same as in bug #1195857 and a number of similar cases. The just released Onboard v0.99.0 has fixes for all of them..

[Francesco Fumanti (frafu)]

This bug should normally be fixed in Onboard 0.99.0, that has recently been released; so I am marking it as Fix Released. If the bug still occurs on your system, please do not hesitate to reopen it, or to create a new bug.
