Sorry, “post” wasn’t entirely clear, but @Blmarks did interpret what I meant correctly - as the issue here is different to the one on the original thread, it’s better placed in a new post/thread/topic.
@Blmarks if the issue goes away when add-ons are disabled, that’s good news. In the Add-ons screen, you can select the top half of your add-ons and disable them. If after restarting Anki, the problem is still there, try the other half instead. Once you’ve found the half that is causing the problem, divide that half into half again, and repeat. You should be able to narrow it down in around ~6 steps that way. Alternatively, if you don’t need all the add-ons you have installed, you could start by disabling all the ones you don’t need, and seeing if that helps.
