Zotero hangs when openning Debug Output Logging at startup and working not very slowly

I have 42 feeds and when I open Zotero and the first thing I do is Help > Debug Output Logging > View Output, this window shows a hard job in process. If I keep it open, while it is doing such job and I do something basic such as moving the item pane below (to get to the tags) or the Collections Pane below (to see the Feeds), Zotero hangs. And hanging I cannot send you a DebugID.

Does it not come back?

Updating dozens of feeds could slow things down at startup, but it shouldn't hang.

In any case, if this is Linux, you can email a text file with the debug output to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread:
