Yes. This is caused by security checks introduced as of macOS Catalina 
10.15.

This is a well-known problem. Anyway thank you for taking the time to 
report this issue.

Have you installed the .dmg distribution or just the .zip distribution?

- If you have installed the .zip distribution, please consider 
installing the .dmg distribution (numerically signed; contains some 
permission requests in its Info.plist) because we are not 100% sure that 
this distribution still has this problem.

- If you have installed the .dmg distribution, a workaround is described 
here:
