Xiphos 4.2.1.7 crashes when opening

When I try to open Xiphos 4.2.1.7, I get the following error message:

BUG! Xiphos is about to crash due to a "STRDUP" error.
Please report this error to the Xiphos team with:

/home/abuild/BUILD/xiphos-4.2.1.7/src/main/display.cc1067'<b>%s %s</b><br/>'

I’ve run updates, and Xiphos still crashes every time I try to open it.

As there was no reply to my initial post, I went to the Xiphos github page, and posted an issue report:

Here is the reply, by Crissium:

Actually I can recall that years ago when I was on Leap 15.2 (?), something similar happened to me.

I created a list of parallel modules, and when I restarted, I got the same error. Then I removed all xiphos config files (not necessarily deleted, just moved away) and it started up without error again.

Hope this can help you.

This solved my problem, though it did erase all my settings.
