Update 4.x breaks the app

[LeyendaV]

After updating to 4.0.0, I encountered this problem. The app takes longer to boot, and only shows a blank, black screen with the column of folders and checkboxes to the left. Doesn't respond, so the only thing you can do is exit using the Home button.
I then updated to 4.01 and the first time I opened Shell, everything seem to be working again. But since the second boot and onwards, it shows the same exact buggy behavior.

Launching from applet doesn't work at the moment. Unless you use v4.01 with Multiple Character Set disabled.

I didn't manage to change setting after updating, and I applied a clean config file. If that option is disabled by deafult, it still is on my console.
If the config file on the repository has that option enabled, guess I can simply modify the json manually.

You can set multi_lang to 0 manually. Generally the application would delete the config file if a new config option has been added. Did you say you tried a clean config file? (You can also delete it and it will regenerate it with multi_lang disabled). However applet mode may have issues.

your opening in applet mode you need to overwrite a title

I've seen other apps do the same before so I just assumed that was the case.

I did. I opened the json and the value was set to 0, so tried again to open the app and it worked. Then tried a second time and the problem returned.
I thought something was being written into the config file, so I took a look, but it didn't change from when everything worked, so I have no clue what may be happening.

The same with me. For this reason, I stayed on 3.2.0
