After the push of the schematic and PCB for issue 32, Board and Enclosure mockup for Prototype #1 when I went to reopen the schematic I got this error:

I cleared the error dialogs and found the LCD... schematic is empty.

I have two commits as part of my placement work. IIRC I made changes on the LCD page to fix a library error related to the LCD schematic symbol. I had to choose the footprint for the 2004A LCD. That change would have been part of the ...9d89 commit.
I was also working on the schematic symbol and PCB footprint for the potentiometer which, IIRC, was captured in the last commit and also on the LCD page.

Here is the line with the error:

This is a symbol I was editing this morning.

Error when trying to open symbol library:

I wonder if it could be the "/" I put in the symbol name?

And now I am breaking things.
I am working on a branch. I used Notepad++ to find and replace "POT 3/8 10K" with "POT 0.375 10K" in both files.

Closed and reopened the schematic with same failure. However I can now open the schematic symbol editor with out the error.

It is at this point I noticed that the GPAD_SCH_LIB.kicad_sym file is not under version control. I assume it is new file type since the converstion to KiCad 6 and I did not add it.

So now I have made changes to this un tracked file which seams to have fixed it but I have fixed the schematic but appear to have moved the error.

It also appears the LCD schematic file name is incompatible with git restore.

After more scary changes I have success. I put the symbol library under version control. I used Notpade++ and removed the potentiometer from the schematic.
I then placed the renamed symbol into the schematic and updated the PCB. It all loads now.

At 16:09 EDT I have pushed the change to github.

Ready for review.

It is a known bug.
