[PyMOL] cannot write text commands after pymol-open-source installation

[Thomas E. <te...@gm...>]

I am encountering a strange problem. After building the latest
pymol-open-source from github on Ubuntu 19.04 and Python 3.7.3 I am not
able to write text commands. It seems that PyMOL does not receive input
from the keyboard because neither the arrow buttons ->, <- work for moving
to the next and previous molecules in a multi-mol file. Does anyone
encounter a similar problem? Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
Thomas
