Editing a path makes paths dissapear

[MLuna]

Whenever I try to change the user templates path, as soon as I click OK and recheck the paths all of them disappear except the github and the one I changed. Is that normal?

For the record, when I copied all the paths to a text files, the deleted ones ended in “external”.

I had a similar experience and posted this about it.

“ I am a relatively new KiCad user, started with 5.0.2 back in January 2019. I just installed 5.1.0 on a Windows 10 PC. I also want to create a simple template with the OSH Park design rules already setup. Signed up to this forum today because of what happened when I changed the Environment Variable KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR to a different directory. When I clicked OK the window closed (I think that’s how it happened) and when I clicked on Preferences/Configure Paths to confirm the change, the only environment variables that displayed were the changed one and KIGITHUB. The others did not show until I EXITed the program, restarted the program and selected Preferences/Configure Paths again. I believe everything is okay, but it gave me a start. Just typing all this incase that happens to someone else.”
