textern error when starting gvim/vim edit after CTRL-D

[JontAlle]

I upgraded my ubuntu from 20.04 to 22.04 and now textern fails. THis was working great under 20.04.

It starts the edit but there is no VIM window presented. My macro is ["gvim", "-f", "+call cursor(%l,%c)"]

If I try CTRL+D a second time it says that I already have the edit open. Rebooting clears this error, but not the problem. What can I do to figure out what is going on, and why it is failing?

I'm going to try to clear the gvim macro and see if gedit comes up. Any other suggestions?

I changed the macro for that of gedit, and the same problem. So it's not about the editor gvim I use. It's about starting the edit in its own window, as a separate process.

THis looks like it may be the error coming from python:
