adding background image to frame buffer causes hanging

[Buck]

in 5.10.20 adding or changing the background image in the frame buffer seems to cause a hanging, often requiring a force-quit on maya. Have tried several different file types (EXR, PNG, JPG) and all seem to do the same thing. It does not seem to happen when you change the file on a freshly opened maya scene, only after the scene has been rendered once in that current session.

Happens both while actively using IPR, and while IPR is stopped.

Several folks at work have noticed this, myself included. Has anyone else noticed this?

Happens both in Linux, and on Mac. We're currently still on Maya 2018.7

This was recently fixed and the fix is in version 5.10.21 build number 30891 (from July 16) and later.
