not sure that it's a crash rather than a display or rendering failure but got it on two different machines, both with linux mint 22.3 zena with the latest update,
I seem to remember seeing boinc, nvidia and kernel updates in it which is now 6.17.0-23.
Boinc is installed in podman and boinc version 8.2.12.
It seems to run but in the manager if I type anything in any feild it jsut goes away, restarting seems like it was not down just hiden or went away. Having to reclick the app start.

Typing what, where?

The closest i've ever come to typing in the Manager is Computing preference values.

Not an answer, but check your signature, you seem to have broken the end tag of the last signature image.
