K9s: Unable to switch between contexts

[srilumpa]

Describe the bug
Switching between contexts hangs up

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start k9s in a specific context k9s --context my-context-1
2. Access the context list :ctx
3. Select one context to switch into
4. k9s interface stalls, need to kill it (with kill <k9s_pid>)

Expected behavior
No stalling, able to switch to the targeted context.

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 19.10
• K9s 0.20.4 (commit: 51c6f70d01ccd13c06f68445327bb5e40ac73a3f)
• K8s Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"18", GitVersion:"v1.18.3", GitCommit:"2e7996e3e2712684bc73f0dec0200d64eec7fe40", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2020-05-20T12:52:00Z", GoVersion:"go1.13.9", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}

Additional context
The targeted context is reachable since I can successfully execute kubectl get nodes on it

Here are the logs:

Having the same issue but I am not starting it with --context

[kapodes]

Same thing. Can only work with current context from ~/.kube/config. If I try to change to any other via :ctx it completely freezes. MacOS Catalina.

@srilumpa @paulwitt @kapodes Thank you all for reporting this!
Hopefully we're happier on v0.20.5... My bad!
Thank you all for your patience and support!!

[kapodes]

@derailed 0.20.5 works as expected 🎉
