Uploads every other try fails

Software IDE 2.x
1

Hello, been using IDE 2 since beta and am really happy with it.
But today something really odd is happening.
Opened up a .ino LCD7735 Adafruit fill i had tested with some months ago.
Selected target STM32F411CE, selected stlink programmer port.
Did a test build, that worked, so did a build/upload and all worked fine, LCD was painted.
Edited .ino and upload failed with "Failed to erase memory" :frowning:
Me thinking something in new code causing upload error, odd
Removed program edit and upload worked fine. :-).

Turns out that not the program edit not working, but upload function only works on every other attempt:

Success
failed to erase memory
Success
failed to erase memory
... EtAl

Ideas most gracefully received pleased, IMK

I'm not familiar with STM boards but it might be important to let use know which board package you're using.
