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

Hi @Catherine_Hanson

Well… unfortunately, I’m not sure what is happening there…

I’ve just upgraded to Ubuntu 23.04 and reinstalled PsychoPy (since it was not running anymore after the upgrade) using this tutorial.

As I expected, PsychoPy crashed when I typed a dollar sign $ inside a text component. Nevertheless, commenting out lines 75 to 85, as I suggested above, worked as a charm.

Information that may be useful to you:

  • I’ve installed Psychopy version 2023.1.2
  • My paramsCtrl.py file, is located at:

/home/user_name/Environments/psychopy-py38/lib/python3.8/site-packages/psychopy/app/builder/dialogs/

Best regards
