Eric Crash on Text Entry - Repeatable

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

as far as I know, Mint 20 contains an eric version that is around 6 
months old. The recommended first step would be to upgrade to the latest 
release (that is 20.8 released yesterday). Step 2 would be to check, if 
the installed PyQt5 and QScintilla packages are compatible. Step 3 would 
be to create a virtual Python environment and installe eric in there 
with PyQt5 and QScintilla packages from PyPI. The eric installation 
script will do this.

Regards,
Detlev
