      An update: use “sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3” instead “sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nemh/gambas3”. The latter is deprecated.

      Gambas 3.8.90 installed OK but the New project window doesn’t display any Project Types.

      The Title in this window is 1. Project type.

      Clicking Next causes a pop up window saying Please choose a Template

      Have looked everywhere but can’t find a fix for this problem.
      Hope you can help

      Thanks
