Oh! Sorry this is getting so extended, clearly there is still a further 
defect lurking somewhere.

OK, you need to set some CMake options and rebuild of WSJT-X. This can 
be done with a release build or you can make a debug configuration. I 
think that the release build version should be OK for now.

To set CMake options the simplest way is to use the cmake-gui program. 
This  may not be installed on your system, you can get it by using 'sudo 
apt-get cmake-qt-gui'. Once you have the tool installed you run it with 
a single argument which is the path to your build tree, something like:

cmake-gui ~/build/wsjtx/Release

I like to use it in grouped mode, to get that check the "Grouped" check 
box to get that.

The options you will need to set are:

WSJT_QDEBUG_TO_FILE
WSJT_QDEBUG_IN_RELEASE
WSJT_TRACE_CAT
WSJT_HAMLIB_TRACE

These are all boolean options which you can set by checking each 
associated check box. These will turn on diagnostic tracing and all CAT  
and Hamlib diagnostics. The trace output will go into a file called 
'wstx_trace.log' in the same directory as the wsjtx executable.

You then need to click the "Configure" and "Generate" buttons to 
reconfigure the build area and rebuild the application by running the 
CMake build command again. I'm not sure if the JTSDK has an option to do 
a minimal rebuild, you don't want to do a complete build tree 
construction from scratch as that will lose the option changes just made 
above. The simplest option may be to just use the raw CMake build 
command directly which is something like:

cmake --build ~/build/wsjtx/Release --target install -- -kj

the path to your build tree, again, may be different on your system.

Once you have the diagnostic version of WSJT-X you then run it taking 
the actions that demonstrate the issue and exit. Try and do this 
reasonably quickly and with as few steps as possible otherwise the trace 
file may become very large.

The trace file is relatively self explanatory but feel free to send it 
to me directly if you want a quick diagnosis.
