Since a few weeks ago, after one "emerge -up world", straw doesn't show anything in the top-right pane, instead of showing article lists. I tried removing the .straw directory and have it start again from scratch, but it didn't make a difference.

0.20 is sort of broken, do you have a LANG set ? liquidx, shouldn't we mask this straw ?
masked in portage now .. i should of done that a couple of days ago but forgot to commit :(
Can you please try with straw 0.21.1
Tried 0.21.1, it seems to work, although I have to delete my ~/.straw/ folder. Otherwise it won't start up ....
yeah liquidx said he had todo the same. I didn't. Don't think the format go changed though. closing this as it was really 0.20 bug, reopen a 0.21.1 config bug if needed.
