Problem description
After copying a old macro to the .local/FreeCad/1.1/macro folder everytime I start FreeCad 1.10 rc3 Addon Manager opens window but freezes. See below for macro
from PySide2 import QtWidgets, QtCore
import FreeCADGui as Gui
class WinSplitter(QtCore.QObject):
class SplitWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, wid, res, title):
super(WinSplitter.SplitWindow, self).__init__()
self.wid = wid
self.res = res
self.setCentralWidget(self.wid)
self.setWindowTitle(title)
self.show()
def closeEvent(self, ev):
self.res.layout().addWidget(self.wid)
return super(WinSplitter.SplitWindow, self).closeEvent(ev)
def __new__(cls):
if not hasattr(Gui.getMainWindow(), 'winsplitter'):
return super().__new__(cls)
else:
return None
def __init__(self):
super(WinSplitter, self).__init__()
Gui.getMainWindow().centralWidget().findChild(QtWidgets.QTabBar).tabBarDoubleClicked.connect(self.onTBDC)
setattr(Gui.getMainWindow(), 'winsplitter', self)
self.splitwin = []
def onTBDC(self, idx):
if idx >= 0:
sw = Gui.getMainWindow().centralWidget().subWindowList()[idx]
self.splitwin.append(WinSplitter.SplitWindow(sw.widget(), sw, sw.windowTitle()))

Steps to reproduce
Add above old "macro" to Linux .local/FreeCad/1.1/macro folder then Start FreeCad run from the macro tab the above macro in Freecad then open the Addon Manager the manager window opens but freezes. In addition once this freeze takes place every time I open FreeCad the frozen Addon Manager doesn't work. This macro came from an old YouTube video 7 years old.
Expected behavior
Expected behavior is to create a split window For FreeCad one window for drawing the other for updating spreadsheet.
Actual behavior
When I click on tool tab Addon Manager and Measure are both greyed out. Tried screen Shot but doesn't show dropdown on tools

Last known good version (optional)
FreeCad 1.1rc3 before running above macro. I think I need to completely clear the saved parameters that FreeCad uses to start up How do I do that on LinuxMint?
