I have a problem for a few days.

I have installed Thonny 3.2.7 in Kde Neon and it worked without problems, but, a few days ago it began to give me the following error every time I wanted to create a new file or when I was going to open one of the ones that I already had created.

I have tried to uninstall it and reinstall it with both APT and PIP and with both versions 3.2.7 and the last one I think is 3.3.2.

I hope you can give me a hand in this problem since I do not know how to solve it.

This is the error that appears to me.

Thanks, I've been checking all the links but I can't find the solution, it seems to be something recent, is it? Talk about zenity but how do I change to tk so that no error?
Regards.

Sorry, at first I did not understand the message correctly and I reinstalled the latest version of Thonny, 3.3.3 and indeed in this version the option to change to TK comes out, so I did it and it works.
