You have been subscribed to a public bug: It is the same tab that was running on 16.04. I have web searched the issue, and reported to the Mate forum, without solution. I am not a newbie, I know about permissions, and I have tried everything. My user account is added to the crontab group. The file in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<user> has the correct permissions.
