Possible bug - Builder crashes when typing a dollar sign into a text component

Hi @Airt78

Thanks for posting the version of Psychopy you are using.
I upgraded my installation to version 2022.2.4 and was able to replicate the error you are experiencing (Psychopy crashes) in my Ubuntu 22.04. So, somehow, this bug found its way back :wink:

Well, the paramsCtrl.py file is different in this version (compared to the one I pointed you to above) but the error, apparently, has the same culprit.

The good news is that I could get rid of it by commenting lines 56 to 66.
The print below shows how my paramsCtrl.py file looks like now:

Although it solves the problem, it is not an elegant / proper solution, but a workaround. @Becca, could you, please, notify someone who could take a look at this?

@Airt78, please, let me know if you can stop PsychoPy from crashing using this workaround.

Best regards,
Flavio
