[Eric] Seg Fault On Opening Dialog Box

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello,

unfortunately I have no idea what could cause this issue. Over here eric runs 
fine on various Linux flavors (Ubuntu ad variants, Fedora 25, Mint, KaOS, 
openSUSE), Windows and macOS. However, I suspect a relationship to the 
installed wheels.
