I had an issue where, after upgrading from 1.8.0-rc1 to 1.8.0-rc2, no receiver output was shown in the Wide Graph and no signals (e.g., FT8 or JT65) were decoded. It turned out that WSJT-X.ini had a UseRef=true line in the [WideGraph] section. Changing it to false fixed the issue.
For me, this is completely reproducible. I have both 1.8.0-rc1 and 1.8.0-rc2 on Windows 10. They are installed in separate directories, but use the same WSJT-X.ini in my AppData\Local\WSJT-X directory. With 1.8.0-rc1, presence of UseRef=true does not cause any apparent decoding problem. Also, I can go to the Wide Graph window and toggle "Ref Spec" off and on, without any apparent change to how many signals are displayed or decoded. With 1.8.0-rc2, the behavior for UseRef=true is entirely different. Nothing new appears in the Wide Graph window except the periodic green horizontal lines. Under Band Activity, no decodes are listed. If I toggle "Ref Spec" off, signals immediately appear and decoding works. I didn't have a good reason for leaving UseRef=true configured (i.e., leaving Ref Spec checked). However, the issue may affect other users, and seems relatively hard to track down: it's not obvious that a graph configuration would affect whether decoding occurs. A user might instead surmise that their sound device was incompatible with 1.8.0-rc2. In general, I'm not sure that the program should silently honor a UseRef=true WSJT-X.ini setting. I can't think of a reason why a user would want to permanently configure a "Compute and save a reference spectrum" action for every time the program starts, and then manually toggle "Ref Spec" off afterward. I suspect that UseRef=true tends to be in WSJT-X.ini accidentally, disrupting a user's ability to enjoy the wonderful 1.8.0-rc2 upgrade! (I'm guessing that this is the result of differences in the "if(buseref) then" code block of lib/refspectrum.f90 between 1.8.0-rc1 and 1.8.0-rc2, but I don't know.)
