Hi @eeenadeem,

Are you just trying to switch among the layouts that Spyder comes with? Do you have a reproducible way to produce this error?

Thanks for reporting!

TQ for comment @steff456

am just trying to switch among various layouts of Spyder, but the software strucks in between with the above message.

Can you please post a gif or screenshot for this? I'm unable to reproduce it on my side
