> A fix for this is likely on the way, but since it is a newly introduced/reported issue, you might get working faster by rolling back to 24.04.x or 23.12.x. [Make sure you – File \> Switch Profiles \> Downgrade & Quit .] See also – The other time this has come up, it’s been an issue with special characters in the filename/path-name. This is many versions old now, and it looks like it was fixed back then, but if you’ve got special characters in your path, you might try fixing that.

If you can help the developers track this down, please click through to GitHub and follow the instructions there.
