1.99 segfaults when opening a file via the command line

General Discussion Support
1

I believe this to be a bug with Avogadro.

Environment Information

Avogadro version: 1.99, updated the local repo (was 1.98) and compiled today
Operating system and version: Ubuntu 22.04.03
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600

Expected Behavior

Opening any output file via the command line (tried orca output and xyz of benzene) should open Avogadro with the molecule loaded.

Actual Behavior

Avogadro begins its startup, but eventually segfaults (see terminal output below)
Opening Avogadro without a command-line argument and then loading the file via the menu works.

Mitigations tried

Fresh checkout and recompile. Issue remains.

Steps to Reproduce

Yes, @RizzerOnGitHub already reported this on GitHub too. I haven’t had a chance to find the culprit, but there will certainly be a 1.99.1 release.
