are you saying that there will be a fix for Windows or that Windows Gretl users should not make unintended errors?

No error message should be necessary, because this is unintended
behaviour, which is specific to the 2024c and 2024d Windows clients[*],
so 99.99% related to the switch to the new libraries (GTK3 or UCRT).

The same routine on 2024b or the current linux version[**] works just fine.

[*] I just checked
