Description
Hello,
I got my new M1 machine a couple days ago, and wanted to start Electrum. The app starts fine, but when I select a wallet file in the open dialog, the entire computer crashes. I didn't try anything else, e.g. creating a "new" wallet from scratch to see if that also causes the computer to restart. Is this a known issue or is it just me? Where do I find logs for Electrum?
Thanks.
