Actually I did the update with a new install.sh downloaded from Pragma's site, but in fact I got again the older version 2019.12.06 21:40…
So the issues I was reporting concern 2019.12.06 21:40 version.

I could not make a minimal example, but I can send you the PDF which shows the issue.

Anyway, I made new zips so maybe one needs to reinstall (using the installer zip). It installs okay on wsl so probably also on other linuxes.

There is not much to gain anyway, in terms of memory usage and performance so it's more an occasional challenge than a neccessity I guess.
