Hi Detlev,
Thanks for getting back to me. Yes the Mint 20 version is old but I had
installed following the Eric script anyway and was on 20.7.
I have just tried the script again, still on 20.7 so I removed it and
ran the script again and I now have 20.8. I repeated the test and it
still crashes in the same way. I ran from a terminal, this is the
terminal output -
mick@Mint20Desk ~/eric_env/bin $ ./eric6
Warning: translation file 'qscintilla_en_GB'could not be loaded.

Hi,
as far as I know, Mint 20 contains an eric version that is around 6
months old. The recommended first step would be to upgrade to the
latest release (that is 20.8 released yesterday). Step 2 would be to
check, if the installed PyQt5 and QScintilla packages are compatible.
Step 3 would be to create a virtual Python environment and installe
eric in there with PyQt5 and QScintilla packages from PyPI. The eric
installation script will do this.
Regards,
Detlev

Running on Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon.
I open Eric6, open an existing program, open a new program, then copy
the first line from the existing program into the new program. That
line is
#!/usr/bin/python3
I then add a blank line and on the next line type
# sensor_rea
after I have types the 'a' and before I can type the rest of the word
the program crashes. I have done it several times and it is repeatable.
I ran it from a terminal and this is the terminal output -
mick@Mint20Desk ~/eric_env/bin $ ./eric6
