The window after freezing- the buttons wont respond anymore.

SUMMARY
The Ark application often crashes whenever I try to add files to a new archive.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Ark.
2. Click on "New Archive".
3. Type a name in the Filename box.
4. Click on "Add Files"

OBSERVED RESULT
The file selection pop-up pops up for a moment, then immediately the file selection pop-up window closes and the Ark window freezes, becoming unresponsive.

EXPECTED RESULT
The file picker window should remain open and let me select the files or folders.
