Events Calendar causing admin UI to less than 100% functional

Our WordPress admin section has been behaving strangely and I’ve narrowed the issue down to The Events Calendar. After disabling it, all of the following issues disappear, but while active, this is what happens:

1) Clicking on “screen options” at the top of the administration panel does nothing
2) Hovering over the left-hand menu items do not show the sub-menus
3) Clicking on “select all” checkbox option within the plug-in screen does nothing – it does not select any of the plugins beneath it.
4) Clicking the “edit” link next to the permalink in the Page editing screen does nothing.
5) Our Divi editor does not show on the page editing screen.

It interferes with the UI/UX of the administration panel.

Moreover, WordPress is showing an unspecified error at the footer of the administration panel: “There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”

This is what the error produces:

=============
An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 458 of the file /home/xxxxxxhr/xxxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Admin/Settings.php.

Is there a patch or update for this? I’m updated to the most current version. I’m also using Divi.
