TypeError after clicking "Find in files" action

[popovs]

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Tried to open "Find in files". The textbox to search in files was already filled with the last line of code I ran in the console for some reason.

Tried to open "Find in files". The textbox to search in files was already filled with the last line of code I ran in the console for some reason.

Solution

OK so first try to set Spyder to factory defaults.
Then RE-install if not work
run cmd.exe as admin and type
sfc /scannow
reboot spyder
if not work try:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth --> might wanna try to do DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth first.

If none work tell me

Thx

Hey @popovs, thanks for reporting. I don't understand very well how this error can be generated. If possible, could you post a screenshot of the current options you have in the Find pane that lead to this error?

If that's not possible, don't worry. We'll find a way to prevent it in Spyder 6, to be released during the first quarter of next year.

I think this issue should be closed as repo or normal now.

Thanks
