This is a common problem related to the GTK2 issues on non-GTK hosts. The behaviour of UI is unpredictable: UI can not react on mouse/keyboard events, utilize a lot of CPU, do not render or even freeze.
To avoid these problems, currently a lot of work is done for porting all widgets to plain X11 protocol implementation (xlib).

Currently known affected hosts: ANY JUCE-based host, Renoise, Reaper.
Hosts that are not affected: Ardour, Mixbus, Carla.

As a workaround solution currently can be used this:

This solution was promoted by user osxmidi in the thread on Reaper's forum:

The thread about UI freezes on Renoise forum:

And the thread on LinuxMusicians:

This ticket is created because there is many feedback received about non-working plugins. When the UI problem will be fixed, this ticket will be closed.

    Closing this issue because the UI has been moved to X11 in the new UI.
