Why does f.lux use 100% of a cpu core?

Question

I installed f.lux on Ubuntu 14.04.

The GUI doesn't work properly but I am able to access settings through the xterminal. While looking in the system monitor, it can be seen that a process called "xflux" is using 100% of one one the cpu cores.

Is there a fix for this issue?

From reddit simply reinstalling F.lux solves this problem.

I had the same problem when I installed it. I killed the process, it restarted by itself and it works properly now.
