[7.2.29] Ipe keeps "Waiting for external editor" after it closed #510

Closed thobl closed 4 months ago

After finishing editing with an external editor (prefs.external_editor = "emacsclient -a emacs %s -c"), the window showing "Waiting for external editor" does not close and Ipe does no longer respond to input.

In the terminal, I get the following error message, when closing my external editor after finishing editing: QObject::installEventFilter(): Cannot filter events for objects in a different thread.

I am pretty sure that this worked in 7.2.28.

Let me guess: you run a very new Qt version like 6.6 or 6.7, most likely on Arch Linux? Then the solution is in #506

Yes, tank you!
