Since I don't see anywhere else to submit bug reports I'll just post this here.
So while playing Elite Dangerous I typically run "ED Discovery" and "ED Profiler" companion apps, the latter specifically for the CMDR Logs feature it has which reads the Journal Files for local text sendings with the prefix LOG to create a "Commanders Log" without having to leave the game. I was using this fine during the start of the DW2 Expedition but after installing Panels I started to get problems. Both EDD and EDP were slowing down and acting like something was wrong with reading the ED Journal Files. Eventually I started getting hard errors and program crashes with EDP when I would try to make a log entry or have it capture a screenshot. I submitted the error to Dr Kaii (EDP's author) but when he asked me to reproduce it I found that I couldn't. Reading the detailed error report it was saying that it wasn't able to read the journal file because it was already in use. Sure enough once I turned off Panels both EDP and EDD were working perfectly again.
I'm not sure exactly how Panels is reading the journal files but it's hogging them to the point that the other apps that normally work fine can't access them. Beyond that I can't say as I'm not an actual programmer. If you need to you can contact Dr Kaii on the official ED forums: forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/262552-EDProfiler-A-New-Display-Switcher-Robust-Settings-Profiler-Switcher-Detector!
