I installed hotfix_se1902_11_cumulative today, and immediately started having a problem with the "list symbols" command. Every time it's run, I get an "Invalid function pointer" error. There's nothing in the Slick-C Stack window that shows up except that text. Interestingly, the symbols are actually listed, and they're listed correctly. However, due to the error, I'm not able to pick one (clicking OK on the pop-up removes the symbols-list pop-up as well).

I've tried uninstalling the hotfix, but that didn't fix it. I've tried creating a new workspace and project, but that hasn't fixed it either.

Any idea how to resolve this or get more information about where it's actually crashing?

Have you trying exiting and restarting?

Look in <config>/logs/stack.log, there may be a stack trace there.

I've restarted SlickEdit many times.

Thanks for the pointer to the stack.log file. It doesn't help me, but I'll post it here and maybe it'll make sense to someone:

What revision of the hot fix were you using before you encountered these problems?

If you unload the hot fix, do the problems go away after a restart?  (you can do this using the "unload-hotfix" command from the SlickEdit command line).

I wasn't having this problem before applying the hotfix, but as I mentioned, unloading the hotfix (via unload-hotfix) didn't work. I also tried unloading the previous hotfix as well (removed hotfix_se1902_6_cumulative after hotfix_se1902_11_cumulative was removed, so basically SlickEdit 19 without any hotfixes hopefully). That didn't work either.

I guess I'll try removing all my config and seeing if that fixes it.

So that worked. I exported my config, then renamed my config directories (I had a 17.0.3 lurking in there, too), and restarted SlickEdit. After SlickEdit created a new configuration I applied the latest hotfix. I then imported my previously-exported config, and everything still looks OK.

So if anyone has a problem like this, there is a workaround. The problem may have been caused by the v19 configuration being originally brought over from the v17 configuration (I skipped v18; the upgrade to v19 was a few months ago for me). I made sure to not have SE do that this time.
