Describe the bug
The bug that I described and fixed here seems to be back.

Unfortunately this renders plugins with text entry dialogs near unuseable. :frowning:

Weirdly, it doesn’t occur on my personal build of Avogadro from the latest codebase. However, it does in the 1.99 AppImage, I get the impression it’s also happening on Windows, and @JGrantHill also reports it happening on macOS (ARM).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install the avo_xtb plugin
  2. Open the “Configure…” menu or anything else that has a dialog e.g. Run or Conformers
  3. Observe that first field is always empty, even after entering a path and saving the config, or after adding the path manually to Avogadro/commands/avo_xtb/plugin.json

@ghutchis hate to bother you, but is there any chance you could take a look at this at some point? It’s quite a big barrier to plugins working well, see Xtb plugin installation - #15 by matterhorn103

Note that this should be config.json not plugin.json.
