As I now try to do my every-day-work with 3.17.2 I see that Gambas3 has 
lost stability and reliability compared to 3.16.3 in a way I never saw 
at a release of a new sub version.

I have to go back to 3.16 because 3.17 at current state is unusable for 
me. I am quite glad that I have not yet rolled out 3.17 in my firm and 
that we have our own Apt server.

There are numerous things that happened this morning while I was 
debugging a feature, for instance:

Doubleclick on a variable showed "3 " while the content was 30. This 
drove me crazy as I first mentioned a lot of other things to be the 
reason but not the IDE.

The IDE crashed while debugging as a DB result had an empty column. I do 
not know if it crashed because of that, because in the next run the IDE 
did not crash.

I had to start the IDE with 'GB_GUI=gb.qt4 gambas3' because with Qt5 
autocompletion is buggy (only on my main computer) and with Gtk3 the 
Layout of the IDE is flickering and broken.

--------------

This morning Gambas looked like PyGlade as I tried it out in 2014: 
Crashes and weird behavior ...

... normally I know Gambas3 and the IDE as rock solid.

Now I really have to agree to a "sabbatical freeze".

Alles Gute
