Draftsight 64 bit linux QWidget crash

Hi, I've just installed the latest release of DraftSight on my 64 bit Debian Linux system, but have encountered a bug making it unusable.  The crash is experienced without fail when opening an existing drawing and switching between paper and model tabs.  The drawings open fine but when I go to switch from a print layout to the model tab it generates a crash.

I think I have successfully diagnosed the problem, when I run DraftSight from the terminal I get this error upon crashing:

QWidget::repaint: Recursive repaint detected

How can I fix this?  I have been using draftsight for all of my CAD needs since 2010 and I love it.  I was thrilled to have a CAD offering with native Linux support, however this current release is simply unusable for me with this bug.  Please help.
