2 Years later and this still hasnt been fixed. I have to kill and restart pulseview everytime this happens, which happens to be after 2 or 3 readings.
It's unfortunate that this happens to you and I of course wish that this would not happen. But it's also a pretty rare thing to happen for other people, so priority is rather low - especially considering the effort needed to create a solution that works across all platforms. As this is free software created by unpaid volunteers in their spare time, you're of course also welcome to look into this issue and provide a fix that benefits people like yourself.
