Is Ubuntu MATE affected by the Thinkpad BIOS scrambling issue?

I love MATE, but now I've encountered an annoying error:
I've did a fresh install of Ubuntu MATE two days ago. When I want to open Sotware Boutique, it crashes. "python3.5 crashed with SIGSEGV in WTFCrash()"
What now? The Welcome window opens and works fine.
(Also here: Kdenlive crashes on start too)
