Creating New Extensions GUI unstable after extension installed

    I was pleased to get my Python extension working - thanks to all the contributors to this project!

    The issue now is that installing my extension (Inkscape 1.1 on Windows 10) has resulted in the menu windows becoming unstable and disappearing unexpectedly. For instance, clicking Stroke style -> Dashes pops up the window to change the dash styles, but only momentarily, and not long enough to make a change (the same thing happens if the input is via the keyboard).

    In fact, this same instability also arises if I only just add a python-interpreter path to my preferences.xml, as described at https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/Extension_Interpreters. With Python from a lightweight Conda virtual environment - the same problem.

    The only way to get back to normal seems to be to delete %appdata%\roaming\inkscape and do a new install of Inkscape. Removing my extension does not restore the normal behavior, even followed by Preferences -> System -> Reset Preferences.

    Any suggestions as to how this might be addressed would be gratefully received.
