Manual triggering of the asset manager rendering is required after opening the AM pop-up
The issue is that currently open-assets doesn't handle correctly the default types option (which I think, in this case, it should return all assets, even not images). I'll fix this in the next release, but for now, what I think it should be even more correctly is to ask explicitly the type of assets

Q: Are you using the latest release (older versions are NOT supported)? A: Yes
Q. Are you facing the bug with your local copy of GrapesJS or with the current demo? A: Local copy, latest chrome on Linux 64bit
The issue
When opening the asset manager via editor.runCommand('open-assets') it should render the list of images on its own. Right now I had to call am.render() after opening the asset manager pop-up to get it to work.
What could be the cause?
