Trying to use the sell button in commodoties---> Sell, and lua errors occur, and can not sell items highlighted.

No idea if this worked before the update or not, since like most people, I don't use the commodities tab.
I am seeing this on a plugin-free game running in windows.

As a bonus I also get an error when selecting a thing in the sell tab:


And then the error when I actually try to sell the thing:


The "pick a quantity to sell" dialogue does pop up, but clicking the "sell" button does not actually sell anything.

Edit:

Here's a log from a possibly related set of events. The gist of it is that docking in a station automagically sold the cargo I was carrying at the time. I believe it may have been a result of unloading an aerna seeker missile (AAAAHHHHHH) at the previous station, which threw up an error when I selected it in the welcome screen of the commerce tab.

I get the exact same thing, genka, and I do run plugins, and I run a couple of different Macs with different operating systems, and it does what you have documented for me also. So it's a bug in the update. The sell button worked fine before the update. As a hint for traders in vo, use the sell button to maximize your earnings on an item, so you get maximum value for the goods you sell, though this usually does not hold true for large weapons, which decrease in value after 3 units or so.

We're working on it.

Client patch 1.8.289.1 has been released to fix the problem. I'm very sorry about that.
