Re: 3.9 -->3.8 downgrade - a few GRC keyboard keys don't work correctly.

Thanks Josh, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

That was exactly the problem.

Is it possible that the "Hide Disabled Blocks" option is enabled in GRC?  This would make disabling appear to delete the block.

On Ubuntu 20.04, I downgraded a gnuradio 3.9 installation to gnuradio 3.8.

Using sudo apt remove.

I had to manually delete the ~/.cache/grc_gnuradio/cache.json file to remove some

cached block parameters left over from 3.9 that were different from 3.8

However even after that I have a few keystrokes in 3.8 that used to work but now

do not.  Particularly trying to Disable a selected block now deleted that block rather

than deselecting it - whether the disable command is invoked typing the keyboard D character

or the mouse on the context-menu.

Is there perhaps some other cached file or config file left over from the 3.9 installation

that is changing the nominal 3.8 GRC keyboard functions?
