Can we get that specific response where that happens?

>>> Does this happen for a specific response?

Yes.

For some requests GZIP-unzipping works successfully and RAW is shown.

>>> Does it happen if the RAW tab isn't active?

For example, If I have JSON tab opened - it's okay, text will be displayed.

Then I press RAW - and the app hangs and becomes unresponsive.

Most likely, what happens here is that the edit control on Linux hangs when it gets some non-ASCII character.
