IDE trashes itself Arduino 1.8.19

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

The Debug window ignored the tab and multiple (\n\n\t)new line characters and a tab, nothing was printed. Restarting the IDE solved the problem as the print out was correct from the previous compile that gave the missed characte4rs.

Another problem is it appears to destroy itself. When entering auto format from the menu after a successful compile I get this:

This is a new install on Linux Mint 22.1.

Here is the test code:

/*
  ReadAnalogVoltage

  Reads an analog input on pin 0, converts it to voltage, and prints the result to the Serial Monitor.
  Graphical representation is available using Serial Plotter (Tools > Serial Plotter menu).
  Attach the center pin of a potentiometer to pin A0, and the outside pins to +5V and ground.

  This example code is in the public domain.

  https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/BuiltInExamples/ReadAnalogVoltage
*/

float voltage = 0;
  int sensorValue = 0;

void showvolt(){
  voltage = sensorValue * (5.0 / 1023.0);   // Convert the analog reading (which goes from 0 - 1023) to a voltage (0 - 5V):
  Serial.print(voltage);             // print out the value you read:
  Serial.print(F("  "));
}

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {
  // initialize serial communication at 115200 bits per second:
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.print("\n\n\n\tHi Gil!\n\tFile: ");
  Serial.print(__FILE__);
  
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
  Serial.print(F("\n\t"));
  sensorValue = analogRead(A0);    // read the input on analog pin 0:
  showvolt();
  sensorValue = analogRead(A1);    // read the input on analog pin 0:
  showvolt();
  sensorValue = analogRead(A2);    // read the input on analog pin 0:
  showvolt();
  sensorValue = analogRead(A3);    // read the input on analog pin 0:
  showvolt();
  sensorValue = analogRead(A4);    // read the input on analog pin 0:
  showvolt();
  sensorValue = analogRead(A5);    // read the input on analog pin 0:
  showvolt();
  sensorValue = analogRead(A6);    // read the input on analog pin 0:
  showvolt();
  sensorValue = analogRead(A7);    // read the input on analog pin 0:
  showvolt();
//  Serial.print(F("\n\t"));
  delay(500);
}
This is modification of one of the examples to try out the install.

I don't think that I can help but some additional information might be useful.

What is the debug window? Serial Monitor?

Where? Assuming the serial monitor is that in the input window or the output window?

What was your previous install? Where OS and IDE the same? If not which Operating System and IDE version in the past?

Can't help you with that. Did you modify the formatter text file and maybe made a mistake?

The debug monitor is the serial monitor. In my previous life it was called the Debug monitor.

That was the serial monitor it did just ignored them. I closed the IDE and reopened it and it then worked, I did not recompile the code.

Yes this is a new install on Linux Mint 22.1. I also installed it a few weeks back on another machine without any problems. The only change on this machine was the hard drive and OS, from 18.3 to 22.1

I have not modified anything, I have no reason to do so.

I also get this type of error sometimes on other earlier versions of the IDE on several different machines and versions of mint but only when I miss a bracket or something. Sometimes it works some times I reload.

The file loaded OK and formatted fine on the other mint 22.1 machine.

If it means anything I installed it with the terminal
"sudo apt install arduino"

Thanks for the concern it is appreciated. I still have to do the run in on the system but I do not expect any problems as it is a WD drive which I have always had work out of the box. I was lazy so I used the same thumb drive I used on other machines. No problems with any of them.

It would be worth trying the official build of Arduino IDE. I don't have any specific reason to think this is caused by using the 3rd party version of Arduino IDE from the package repository, but in the past we have seen strange problems that are related to the changes the package maintainers make to Arduino IDE.

You can download the official build from the links on the "Software" page here:

https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/#legacy-ide-18x

The Arduino IDE installation you get from that page can happily coexist with an existing APT installation of Arduino IDE on your machine. So you don't need to uninstall the APT installed copy of Arduino IDE from your computer before trying the official build.

You don't need to do any installation of the official build. Just extract the downloaded archive file to any convenient location on your hard drive and then run the arduino executable from the the extracted folder. After performing the experiment, if you want to go back to using the APT installed copy of Arduino IDE and don't have any more interest in using the official build, you can simply delete the folder to remove the installation of the official build.

A great Bit Thank You From start to it running without a problem took maybe two minutes including downloading. The formatting works as does the compiler etc. It will take a few days to be certain but it looks great at this point.
