[Bug]: Codelite crashes after a reboot - codelite.xml contents deleted

What happened?

Hello @eranif ,

I am currently using CodeLite 17.0.0 together with wxWidgets 3.2.1.

I am building CodeLite from source on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and it worked fine in the past.

Recently I upgraded my RHEL 8 to v8.8 and this somehow broke my CodeLite.

After doing some investigation, I figured out that its related to #1661 and by deleting the .codelite directory in my home directory, results in CodeLite being able to start again.

However, after a system restart, I again run into the same issue where CodeLite won't start.

From what I could tell so far, .codelite/config/codelite.xml looks fine after I deleted the entire .codelite directory and restarted CodeLite, but when I do a system restart, this codelite.xml somehow gets "cleaned", i.e. its simply empty after a restart.

I suspect this is my issue, but I don't have the faintest idea why this happening.

Could you please assist?

Many thanks in advance!
