Only one window can be opened

Question

After updating to v2.3.5, only one window can be opened, is it a bug? My system is Ubuntu 18.04 in WLS.

Answer 1

You should be able to start cadabra2-gtk multiple times; that certainly works on Ubuntu 18.04 on bare metal. Using File / New is not intended to open an extra window (essentially, every instance of cadabra2-gtk has one kernel, and if you want more than one kernel you just start a new instance).

Or are you talking about the Jupyter kernel?

Got it. Maybe I should also report this bug to WLS developer. I will try other ways. Thanks for your explanation.

When I install from source, I get the following warning

Is it possible to have a relation to the problem?

No, these are warnings which are related to the meld algorithm only.

After I update cadabra2 to v2.3.4, the problem raises, and v2.3.2 works fine. I hope this will provide some help for this problem.

Hi Kasper. After I update wls to wls2, everything is ok.
