Include file was open when using 'Edit Block In-place (BB)' in an other drawing.

'Edit Block In-place (BB)' is never used in this drawing.
There was never a Block in this file.
I might have switched focus.
Re-installed QCAD a dozen times meanwhile.
Wiped all what remained of QCAD twice.
Cleaned up the windows registry twice.
Lastly left out all kinds of my custom scripts.
Simply a bare install with the msi file.
How to replicate:
- Start QCAD in normal mode
- Load included file
- Set App.Prefs .. Startup .. Restore open files
- Close QCAD
- Start QCAD in debugger mode
(-rescan -enable-script-debugger -always-load-scripts)
Boot fails.
Every successive trial.
When booting in normal mode I see the BB options toolbar blink shortly.
3 Screengrabs in DebuggerModeError.zip in the same topic.
The blink I can't catch.
I can Boot with no file to retore on open in debugger mode and load the file.
I have several of those files, all were open that day at 2:56 am

Closure comment
Thanks. There are several problems in debugger mode caused by events not being triggered in the same order as they are sent. This is a known problem / effect of the Qt script debugger that cannot / will not be fixed on the the QCAD level.

That doesn't explain why this started on 5/1/2021 just before 2:56 am
and only for those files that were open at that time.
That doesn't explain why I see the Edit In-place option toolbar blink short with only those files in a restore on normal boot.
So, the advice is to redo those 17 files over new !?
Or all the files since 5/1/2021 ?
Without a single old one open !
I will be busy for a while.
I know, there is no guarantee.
