Ok, it's probably an incompatible add-on that is causing the problem.
To figure out which one you can disable half of them in the Tools->Add-ons
and then restart to see if the problem goes away, and then re-enable some
or disable more depending on the result...

It looks like it's basically the same underlying problem as bug 391358
