I am running Gramps ver 5.1.3 and recently upgraded to a new computer with Windows10 (on my older computer I had Windows 8).
Already on my old computer, I had incompatibility issues with Gramps and Libre Office Calc: when I had Calc open, I couldn’t scroll in Gramps. I.e. I could for instance not scroll down in a list of people in the Person view. However, on that system everything would return to normal if I just closed Libred Calc.
Since I started to use my new Win10 computer, I have the same problem but worse. Now it is no longer enough to close Calc. I also have to reboot my computer, at times I have to reboot it twice, in order to be able to use scroll functions in Gramps. Another weird thing is that on my old system, I could run Excel (an old version) and Gramps together without problems. In my new computer I have the latest version of Excel, and it causes the same incompatibility issues as Libre Calc.
Even weirder: occasionally there are no incompatibility issues. I.e. sometimes, but rarely, I can run Libre Calc and Gramps together without that anything bad happens. Which of course makes trouble-shooting really hard.
I don’t understand this. Are there any known incompatibility issues? Could it be related to any of the add-ons for Gramps that I am using? I’m using quite a few add-ons, but I primarely work from the Relationship Combined View, which I think is an exceptionally useful and well thought out add-on.
I should add that I’m running Gramps as an Administrator, and that I’m using the Adwaita Theme.
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Emma Marie
