Hi @Var, release 1.218 is up and should address the issues you saw in 2.217 related to all but one plug-in being removed. The minimized GraphTool window causing an exception should also be fixed. Thanks for reporting!
Thanks @matt. I will try 1.218 soon. Today I did verify that if I don’t minimize the plot window and just keep the main window in the foreground, I did not get the error- who’d have guessed that minimizing the plot would have cause such a “problem”.
