Hi,
Git GUI does not start any more and I'd like to share the bugreport below. Any idea how I can get diagnostic information to find die problem?
best regards
Gerhard

-------------------------------------------- What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) Open Git GUI -> choose open existing projekt It worked with the previsous version 2.28 before. Before posting the bugreport I updated to the most recent version to be at the latest version.

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) That Git GUI opens...

What happened instead? (Actual behavior) Git GUI icon appears in task bar, but not the usual Git GUI window. On left click on the task bar icon, the top entry says Wish Application. On choosing this entry two Windows appear. One is empty. The second is titled "Konsole" and has (System32) 1% in the field below the menu bar. What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? Git Gui does not start and there is no indication on possible reasons for this.

Anything else you want to add: I've checked the project directory with git cmd: git status: On branch <branch name> nothing to commit, working tree clean
