Thank you for reaching out to the mailing list on this Hans. Can you try
starting Zim from a terminal with the command

   zim --debug

That will print chatty debug messages to the console that you can look
at and maybe share. It might help identify exactly what step in
navigation is getting hung up.

Also, is your home folder (your user profile folder) stored on local
storage, or NFS, or something more exotic?
