does it show any error messages when you launch it from the terminal?

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Is this the only message you get when launching from the terminal? Just hoping to clarify that there isn't anything else before this, if it is the only message that might make this tricky to debug.

That is the only message I get when it crashes, the other ones are normal.

Edit: I tried opening it with the terminal in wayland and when I type, it says this:

I have the same problem (I am on Manjaro Linux with KDE Plasma), any keyboard input crashes the app, and it just spits out this:
