selecting cluster in ClusterView does not update other views

[jennagkelly]

After a few weeks long pause in sorting, I went to open the last file I was curating and the gui would not open using that file, nor other recent ones that had worked. In attempts to get it working I at some point removed my phy conda environment and reinstalled from scratch using the environment.yml file (so far, the only installation strategy that has given me a gui that successfully opens), in Ubuntu 22.04.5. I am trying to load the output of mountainsort5, which I sorted using SpikeInterface and exported with their export_to_phy exporter - I do not think my choice of sorter is the issue, as I have also tried to open Kilosort output and see identical behavior. I also tried the test dataset from https://codeload.github.com/kwikteam/phy-data/zip/master and see the same pattern.

I am able to open the gui, and I see my clusters and their metrics in ClusterView and SimilarityView. However, when I try to select a cluster, I see no updates in FeatureView, TraceView, etc.

It looks like the clusters are being selected, as running in debug mode tells me, e.g.:
18:13:01.396 [D] supervisor:817 Clusters selected: [26] (24)

However, I'm consistently getting an error report each time I click a new cluster:

Traceback (most recent call last):

The error message is preceded and followed by multiple instances of the debug report:
17:08:04.046 [D] base:702 Exception in paintGL: Attempt to retrieve context when no valid context

Any ideas appreciated - thanks!
