Thanks, Bob. I'll give it a shot.

The changes in the pull request fixed the problem on Ubuntu. I created a new release of MEDM and closed the pull request.

There is a Pull Request against MEDM on GitHub which solved some issues on Ubuntu that might be causing this, Mark or Pete can you see if that helps?

If, in MEDM edit mode, I try to change the numeric format for a field (say, from decimal to engineering), MEDM crashes with:

 

*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated

Aborted

 

This is on Ubuntu 20.04, MEDM Version 3.1.15, EPICS 3.15.6

Any ideas?

 

Pete.
