After latest update, desktop app is completely non-functional

Jeff

@Jay - Maybe this is a sign that neither one of us should be working the day before Christmas, but… After applying today’s update (1640397949847) just now, the window on my desktop app is completely blank, except for the three close/minimize/zoom buttons in the upper left corner. The window can’t be moved around on the desktop. Restarting the app doesn’t help. I can still use Legend via my web browser, but I’ve lost access to my local files. I can’t log out, because I can’t access the menus in the window.

The Mac system menus work (File, Edit, View, etc.). I can choose “Use stable version”, and that works. Is it safe to switch between the stable and beta versions?

I can also open the Developer Tools. In the console, I see this:

I tried the desktop app on another computer, with the update, and it seems ok. It doesn’t have the above error. But I don’t have my local files there.

After more investigation today, I found a local file in the “docs” folder that seems to be causing the problem. It looks like an old test file from March 2021 that’s still hanging around for some reason. It’s just ignored and doesn’t show up in the list of files when I use the stable version, or the previous beta version. But it causes the latest beta to be non-functional. It looks like it’s encrypted - except for the document name, the text fields look like binary data. I removed it from the folder, and things seem to be working ok, I can access my other local files again, so that’s a relief.

Jeff Thanks for investigating! I added support in the last update for asking for a password for encrypted backups, but I hadn’t realized it would try to do that for encrypted local files too. Fix coming in the next update.
