On Linux, MATLAB editor and command window freeze when a help window is closed

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and MATLAB r2018a. When I pull up a help window using for example `doc magic` and then close this window with the 'X' button in the GUI, the whole MATLAB GUI freezes. It appears that I am still able to type in them, as evidenced by some of my typing being present upon restarting MATLAB in my *.m file. I am not sure how to debug this further, as it appears to purely be a GUI problem. In the terminal which I used to start MATLAB, there is no additional output.
The only output to the terminal I have appears on startup:
Gtk-Message: 18:05:40.313: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Actually, while I typed up this question I let it sit frozen for a while and it unfroze. In the Command Window I found the following exception text:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" com.teamdev.jxbrowser.chromium.internal.ipc.IPCException: Failed to execute shutdown post message.

Workaround that worked for me: com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HtmlComponentFactory.setDefaultType('HTMLRENDERER');
If you need to un-freeze now, find the Linux process called "jxbrowser-chromium", and (If your problem is the same as mine), kill the non-defunct one.

MATLAB R2018a is not yet supported on Ubuntu 18.04.
Please refer the System Requirements page to know more about the currently supported Linux distributions.
I have same problems here (same matlab version too). I don't know how fix it.

Try type this code:
com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HtmlComponentFactory.setDefaultType('HTMLRENDERER');

This works for me, Ubuntu 18. HTMLRENDERER, also works but it looks horrible.
com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HtmlComponentFactory.setDefaultType('HTMLPANEL');
