TIG's Free Rotate crashes SU2020 and 2021

I've looked at the thread about this plugin, and it seems development stopped in 2013, with a comment in the 'release notes' that it has been future proofed.

It's just the thing I was looking for, but it doesn't seem to work in either SU2020 or SU2021.

I get first a hang (Mac OS X Mojave 10.14.6) then a bug splat in both, after starting the plugin and making the first click. The black ball for the rotation point appears, but jumps of of its own accord to a point near the cursor, then freezes SU. I wait for a minute to see if it clears, but it doesn't.

@TIG, is it fixable? I'd REALLY like to be able to use it in later versions of SU.

I'll try it in 2018 or 19 to see if I can get it to work in one of those, or even an earlier version or two that I have installed.

Do you have two accounts ?
I replied to much the same question here: https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=73170

I do have two accounts, and posted by mistake using the one I share with Steve Baumgartner (slb_jwm). But I thought I had deleted it immediately I realised I'd used the wrong login, and reposted in my own account.

Sorry for the confusion.
