Preloading text stimulus during static period prevents 1.84.1 from successfully building the script to run the experiment

Mac OSX El Capitan
PsychoPy version1.84.0 or 1.84.1
**Standard Standalone? Yes

A super simple builder exp. with a .5 sec static period followed by a text stimulus set to load during the static period causes the builder to fail during generating the script to run. The following traceback shows up in a coder window if one is open when I click on run in the builder. The same psyexp file runs fine on 1.82.01. The psyexp file is attached.

Yes a colleague of mine came across this one yesterday and it’s fixed in the repository. Bug fix release for this is imminent but you can also fix manually by changing line 154 of
"/Applications/PsychoPy2.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/psychopy/app/builder/components/static/__init__.py"
from
buff.writeIndented(code % self.params['name'])
to
buff.writeIndented(code)
