That method also\nprovides a more helpful bug report template.\n\nI have to admit that I am somewhat surprised by your bug report because I\nspecifically verify that Git GUI starts whenever releasing a new Git for\nWindows version.\n\n> Any idea how I can get diagnostic information to find die\n> problem?\n\nSince you reported this for your Windows setup, it would be good to know\nwhat your Windows version is.\n\nHaving said that, the most obvious difference between v2.28.0 and\nv2.32.0(2) with regards to Git GUI is that Tcl/Tk was upgraded from\nv8.6.10 to v8.6.11.\n\nIf you could test with v2.30.0 (which still has the old Tcl/Tk) and with\nv2.30.1 (which has the new one), that could help pinpoint the issue.\n\nCiao,\nJohannes\n\n>\n> best regards\n>\n> Gerhard\n>\n>\n> --------------------------------------------\n> What did you do before the bug happened?
