CQRLog locks after first 2 char of Call

Strange issue. everything was working fine. testing out CQR Log had 2 entries in the log book all is well. went to test another entry with auto QRZ.com search enabled and now after i type 2 letters of the call the program locks up and i cant' do anything further.
i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. clearing out the folder in ./config/cqrlog no luck. any help on how to start troubleshooting this would be fantastic.
OS: Current version Rasbian OS 32bit
raspberry pi 4

Thanks in advance.

CQRLog locks after first 2 char of Call

Hi!

First of all having 32bit RPi: what is the cqrlog version and version date?

Quite many things may happen after first two characters. For example entering "VK" causes cqrlog to check country information and with that draw a line from your qth to VK on grayline map.

Most prefixes start that operation with two characters, but not all. For example entering "KC" does not make it happen. After entering also number like "KC3" the line is drawn. Same with "VA" it also needs a number.
Can you enter three letters then?
Or if you enter bogus call like "1VA1AA". Can you enter whole call then?

Of course starting cqrlog from command console:
cqrlog --debug=1
you can see what is the last debug line after cqrlog stops responding. How ever cqrlog is multi thread program and it may happen that you still have more debug texts after NewQSO stops working. That makes tracking a bit more complex.

In common, deleting ~/.config/cqrlog folder should set everything to clean start condition.
After doing that you can do reinstall of package, or if you compiled by yourself "sudo make install" again. In some rare cases it may help if the binary file /usr/bin/cqrlog or files in /usr/share/cqrlog folder are damaged.
