Hi,

I’m experiencing a GUI crash when trying to open the command connection configuration window. I reproduce it and save it as a gif.

 ![pv5.7_crash](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0e9da4252611bd61406f6422053201bbf30a4bab.gif)

this is the log:  
[praview\_5.7\_crash\_log.txt](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/umP8tljeFMysyM6mQ3TCTDAEVwc.txt) (4.9 KB)

Can you reproduce it on your side?

I built it using paraview superbuild and linked it with my system’s qt 5.10.1 installation.

Thanks

As a work around, you can define your server command in the .pvsc file in your settings.

In the case a fix is release it soon, can it be as a patch for 5.7? or Do I have to go up to 5.8 or whatever is in the master branch ?

If fixed, it will only be available in ParaView 5.8.1 or ParaView 5.9.
