Simon, I've tracked down the source of the error by installing versior 2.2.1
It turns out a few days ago I had disabled all my system fonts in order to troubleshoot some font problems. I had not re-activated them. As a result version 3.2.1 was very unstable. Version 2.2.1 was more stable and also returned an error message about a missing font. This led me to the problem. V.3.2.1 is now functioning as expected with all system fonts available. I had also installed the new GUI. Thanks for the response.
